This autumn, the V&A and Crafts Council will celebrate the role of making in our lives by presenting an eclectic selection of over 100 exquisitely crafted objects. As part of this major exhibition entitled ‘Power of Making’ people from around the world were invited to upload short films about making and a selection of the best entries will be continually screened in the exhibition. This film by Greg Rodland Buick, of me throwing a large Moon Jar was selected. It is so great to have such a talented photographer and now film maker as a brother.
I have enticed renowned illustrator and writer Jackie Morris across the fields to come and draw on some mugs I made for home.
It is the beginning of a collaborative project between Jackie and myself. The mugs seemed an ideal starting point for Jackie to get used to drawing on a three dimensional object and for me to get to know the techniques involved in ceramic illustration.
I thought we should go for classic blue and white, I like things to be clean and simple but also it is a technique I have some experience of.
Now that we know it works we have some exciting ideas that combine our individual creativity.
Take a look here, here, here and here to read about Jackie’s experiences.
