Ornaments in the kiln
A load of ornaments has gone into the kiln, unfired, packed on shelves with posts
between them so nothing touches. Alesha's palette of forms has been growing: ridged,
faceted, and pinecone-textured pieces alongside the simpler spheres.
Mould casting
The bench has been covered in plaster. Broken mould halves, offcuts, and a good deal
of spilled plaster. Some of the cast bird forms are still attached to their sprues,
waiting to be cleaned up.
A new goose
A goose with a long neck that loops back to make a handle, and a body covered in
incised leaf and scale texture. Sitting alongside a jack-o'-lantern with a carved face.
Both unfired, both waiting on a glaze.
