Crafts at Bath Spa




Some Raku Results
The last three days at Bath Spa Uni have been great fun. I'm not used to being all arty and experimental, but I was forced to be by our excellent ceramics teacher as he showed us just how many possibilities there are with slip casting and Raku.

Katy and I now need to figure out an appropriate technology version of slip-casting for Neema as some of the resources (such as deflocculant!) may be hard to come by.  Raku firing definitely seemed more appropriate however, and we are looking forward to seeing what we can do with Neema's mud kiln. 


Katy's day of book-binding went well, with very professional looking results. If anyone has an old bookbinding press lying around then we'd love to find a use for it! Otherwise I'm sure can make our own out there.

I have just added a links section to this blog. Katy's website is worth a look >>>
