Last year, you saw some of my Pottery work here.
Time to share some more clay work...I have always been impressed with the Harappa-Mohenjo daro images-the hieroglyphics found in the excavation sites,...stories of Chanakya, who mentored and was a teacher to Chandragupta Maurya, and who was responsible for the creation of the Mauryan empire, the first of its kind on the Indian subcontinent,...and Buddha, the enlightened one. With these thoughts in mind, I tried to mold clay into squarish plates- cut-scratch-mold them before drying in the Kiln and later painting the design ....
...Buddha, the enlightened one...
...Chanakya...
...the Holy cow and hieroglyphics...
...the clay plates displayed in the family room...
Playing with clay is easy...Many pottery schools or workshops have a 1 or a 7 day session...where you can get the initial feel. The only thing to remmber is that this like many mediums requires lots of practice, patience and persistence. I love Pottery and playing with Clay ....it is such a joy to see something that you envision, you create, come alive...
Hope you enjoyed the post...until next time...Ciao

ReplyDeleteAbsolutely fantastic!!!! "Playing with clay is easy..." Anpu dear, it is easy for an artistic person like yourself. For the rest of us, we prefer to admire the end product knowing full well that it has taken hard work and patience. Enjoying all that you and Patty put up.
