We are now down to the last week of school. This has been a busy semester, but productive. My goal was to try to stay on schedule, or ahead, as I knew I would be short of time at various points during the semester. Even with that, there was barely enough time to complete the projects due. I truly feel badly for those taking 3 or more studios.
I have a bowl! 12" vessel #2 has been raised and nearing it's final form. Just a bit of work on the edge and time for finishing. I am thinking about putting a patina similar to the chalice and making a series. I'm not sure yet.
Construction has gone surprisingly smooth with the Combination Setting Project. Fabrication of the setting and the transition to the neckpiece are completed. My express goal in this piece was to highlight the stone. This translated into a more understated piece than is usual for me. The word that comes to mind is minimalism, although it seems a bit Asian to me as well. We'll see how it works out once the stone is set.
It has been a great experience learning the stone setting techniques we covered this semester. I feel more confident in approaching projects I might not have otherwise. Thanks again, Prof. N!
