Katerina Giannaca ceramics exhibition

As I have already told you I am taking ceramics lessons. These are divided into 6-week terms during which we do one subject. Also each term starts with a presentation of the subject.
The first subject was the bowl and our teacher showed us a powerpoint with various artists.
The result was to make two bowls. One small one in just one lesson (three hours) and a bigger one in the next five weeks. Last week we glazed the bowls and they were put in the oven.
I brought them home and felt really happy to show them to friends.
Here they are.

 I really loved how they turned out and especially the bigger piece

which is glazed in a glaze not suitable for food so my spiders have decided to settle in it. Spiders made by Laura of Dans le Lakehouse.

The second term was called "The box" and I chose to make a biscuit jar which is not ready yet.
Here's how it still looks.

This subject was introduced with a visit at Ro Art Gallery where we saw the works of art of painter and ceramist  Katerina Giannaca. We were lucky the artist herself was there too.

 Here are some photos from that exhibiton visit. Don't you love all those shapes and colours?

We then had some drinks with our teacher and all the ceramic class classmates and discussed the experience of learning how to make ceramic objects. I know I am enjoying it really very much! And that was a great visit!
