July in the Studio: experiments

Clockwise from top left

I bought some new wax carving tools and experimented with them

I can't resist taking a photo of a melting wax hand

Seal bas relief in progress (in clay)

Birds nest on a foggy winter's morning

A new tool (from the kitchen section - I'm sure it will be useful one day)

Bananagrams - Fantasy word of the day GROAT

Some of Nathan Beard's pieces out of the kiln but not yet cleaned up or coldworked - see the glow up to the exhibition stage.

I was walking to get my coffee one morning and the lake was hidden with mist. Just after this moment, 3 black swans came flying low out of the mist and then vanished just as fleetingly. Magical!

Pots fully drizzled

The beginning of my green still life
