Look what came out of the Kiln

This week my congratulations go to a newcomer in the Thursday class - Frances.

Frances says she is a beginner when it comes to working in clay and has joined the class to learn. This is something we have all been through at some time. Tracy (functioning teacher) and Frances decided on an exercise that is fun and usually gives good results: - a mask.

The clay they chose was a high-fire black clay. Its easy to work with, it seldom cracks, it dries quickly and it fires well. After finishing the mask - Tracy suggested adding some white bits. This has 2 purposes - firstly the contrast to the black looks good and secondly - if you want to add colour, it's easier to have a pale colour underneath.

Here you see the result after the firing:

Next step was to decide on how to finish the project. The alternatives are many. Frances decided on going for acrylics. Most of the white areas were covered. In addition Frances added some bits of glass and an earring.

Now the mask is up on a wall. Doesn't it look great. 

WELL DONE FRANCES !

Look what came out of the kiln

As always - it's exciting to see what comes out of the kiln after a firing. This time it was a glaze firing. Look at the wonderful results.

Hangar Open Day 2016

In one word: successful!! 

More than 150 people visited the Hangar including the Mayor of Chateauneuf Emmanuel Delmotte, and deputy mayors Christian Goracci and Laurence Margaillan. The Mayor was presented with a 3D model of Chateauneuf Village, a unique art work created by Hangar members Lucia, Carol, Peter and Helene, during the Monday drawing classes with Pim.

We were announced in Nice Matin and on all local websites and Facebook... and there will be spin off in the form of exhibitions and publicity for sure!

Here are some pictures which will show once more what a great day it was, and how well it was organized thanks to the Board, the Teachers and last but not least, the Volunteers... THANK YOU ALL!!!
