Pete, our tutor who I love and think is fantastic, wanted us to go for a walk and try and get lost, taking notes pictures and sketches on our feelings and whatever else happened.
I went to llyn llech owain so it was pretty hard for me to get lost there, but I pretended I did a little for the sake of the brief !
I then made a little book of what I did, even though it wasn't really required.... part of my plans to get pete to like me best maaybe?

This is where the ceramics comes in !
Because it was a walking brief, we started by making a plaster cast of the bottom of our shoe.
Really, this was just to teach us how to work with plaster, but it was good fun, and everyone was laughing at how tiny cute my feet are :) :
THEN! Using all of that, we made a vessel from clay.
When I started mine I had No clue what it was going to turn out like, and when I made this kind of vase thing it collapsed a bit, giving it a kindof organic shape, which I actually really liked! So instead of keeping it all neat I ripped the excess clay from the top to give it a rough kind of unfinished look.
It still hasn't been glazed so the colours aren't right but here he is::
