So now there is only a week before we take over our studio at Wimbledon Artists Studios. I am so excited that I can hardly sleep at night. The prospect of being able to spend the time that I want developing my own personal style and being part of a large community of over 200 artists is almost to huge to believe. Important date for your diary: 16 - 19 May: Wimbledon Artists Stduios,Open Studios event. Be there!
I have spent the morning searching for a kiln and deciding that I shall almost certainly go for a new one. Second hand ones seem quite expensive given that they don't come with a guarantee so I think I shall spend a bit more and be sure of some advice and support. I have also spent a happy few hours sorting out my portfolio in readiness for my interview for the ceramics diploma course. The interview in next month and I need to be able to wow them with both my 2D and 3D work. I really do not know how I shall struggle to college through the rush hour with half a dozen very fragile pieces and an A1 portfolio tucked under my arm! I shall go for a trial run on Monday when I take it all in so that I can go through it with my tutor and decide what to leave out or add before the interview - all these courses! Will I ever stop? The thing is that I am really hoping that once I have done the diploma I shall feel really confident to have a go at most things ceramic, including a bit of teaching. Then the career shift will finally be complete. Happy days!
