Crit

I'm up for critique tomorrow! I'll update later to let you know how it goes.

UPDATE:
Well that wasn't so bad ;o) I discussed my work, the process and any technical challenges and that was about it! Only small questions asked i.e. how far apart were the wall pieces going to be separated - my answer = 5mm; and "I bet you don't drink!" - I believe this is in reference to the delicate material and the fine cutting I am doing lol!

I screwed up with one batch of laser decals. In a rush to print them out and get to uni I did not notice that Word changed the size of them!! So they were all 2cm too small. (I'll still use them - maybe in the wall art?)
Yesterday I spent the time at uni cutting and placing decals. It is slow going! Janet was right when she said that my project is huge lol! I thought it was going to be relatively quick to produce them, however I hadn't taken into account the enamels and the drying time between coats - I am building up in layers, Greg suggested I fire inbetween coats instead. I'll definately try this option.
I also need to try a copy glazed to see if it improves the strength of the Keraflex.

Today I am hoping to contact a place in Fyshwick that custom makes perspex to your needs - I'll be using these possibly as the bases. I'll let you know how that progresses...

Week ending Friday 30th

My Workspace at Uni...

Not much has progressed, though much has been worked through! With helpful guidance from Janet and Joanne I have decided to look at using a clear base with feet (for ease of lifting the artwork). The clear base will better display the pages and still be able to host a light source.

I've been painting and thats about it!

Janet has suggested I try firing up to 1320C in a gas kiln to see if that will give added strength. I will also try with a clear glaze.

Off for 10 days on a cruise starting Saturday so I had best get a move on!!

I've now experienced a class critique session - pretty impressive! Two people were up on Thursday - starting with a show and tell, the questions and suggestions follow. I can see how helpful they can be, not only to keep on track but to get some great brainstorming for solving technical difficulties etc.
