Apologies for the lack of a post yesterday! Back to business as usual from here on in. After my tutorial I decided to attempt to craft something/anything useful out of a block of wood. Now as most people know, I HATE 3-d and trying to wrangle with the problems that arise when doing it. I'm just not really a maker of physical objects.
Anyway, with my moan out of the way and a wee bit of inspiration from the South London Gallery ( see picture below), I decided to invest in cut offs from B&Q some hand tools and just go to work on wood seeing what I end up with and respond to.
Now you probably wont believe this took the better part of two and a bit hours, but I assure you it did! Im certainly not proud of this, but its a start and has thrown me totally out of this "comfort zone" everyone speaks about.
Air hardening clay still appeals to me, as I can control every aspect down to the most minute detail, and it doesnt crack like standard clay. For now though im going to use the Bandsaw to create some more interesting shapes on tuesday.
