MAJOR UPDATE NEEDED

 

 Following my First semester of my third and final year of          University at Staffs I had been experimenting with my hand drawn   patterns it lead me into my second semester.

 Wanting to further my designs, whether that be in texture, or print.  I looked into both, after years of dried clay hands print was  becoming more appealing to explore.

With learning lots of tips and tricks over the years on Adobe Photoshop and Illustrator, I scanned my drawings in and slightly edited them on Illustrator as I originally drew them in semi circles so matching them up to make complete circles. 

Putting them onto plate and mug templates as seen above, layering and exploring different tonal levels. Whether to cover the rims, or cover the whole plates.

 I used table setting images from the internet and put my designs in instead to see what types of setting I was aiming for.

Here are a few images of my finished products

With many thanks to my good friend for doing me a great favour

Concluding first semester of my final year

 Since my last post I completed the first semester of my final university year :( 

I produced geometric ceramic trays, which have the relief of the first laser 

etched lino I experimented with.

Drawing more and more led me to doing more linear intricate patterns, which are very angular with the majority based on the same starting pattern the expanded and manipulated to create new patterns. Etched new patterns onto lino through the laser cutter, utilizing the flexibility of the lino allowed me to create quick and easy plaster models to visualize my pattern as a 3 Dimensional object.
