Back at the City Lit - to start the Art Foundation course. A chance to try out new things. I've been looking forward to this for months.
After the "health and safety" intro, it was down to work. Some mark making - texture - the object unseen, just felt. (But it was obviously a couple of thin green pot-scrubber "sponges".) The various media were variously challenging.
Out to lunch - to see this sculptural bird in the tree round the corner -
Did I mention that Tuesdays this term we're doing sculpture? This is the sculpture room - lots of new-to-me stuff -
But a lot of 2D is involved as well. Some more texture - enlargement of small objects. The screwdriver at the bottom does look more like bamboo -
Last task, at the end of the day - make a clay mold for a plaster cast; here it is half finished. I tried to remember that what goes down will be up ... but it will be a surprise to unmold the plaster next week.
A pencil sharpener, and a bit of wire that was on the floor, were useful here.

Oh WOW!!!!! I'm thrilled and amazed for you - and terribly envious of the opportunities that City Lit offers. I can't wait to see how the sculpture turns out. Thank you for sharing.
