With my quick workshop in clay, I wanted to explore the elements of shape and space. I chose to do some sketching following on from the shapes I created in my previous workshop and the artist research I had done. I took inspiration from the 'squiggle' shape that keeps coming up in the research. I looked at the folds within Bernin's sculptures and wanted to experiment with making that on a more refined scale. My first attempt was unstructured and broke as the cat was in a plastic state. To solve this, I used a leather hard coat and cut out full circles of a larger width and layered these with slip. To develop this concept further, I would like to experiment with scale and how this can impact the appearance of shape and space.
