Creating has always been a passion of mine and working with clay is very satisfying.  Something new I have tried recently is Screenprinting and in this case Screenprinting on to a clay surface.  I found this particularly satisfying to do.  I used my own design of Poppies to print on to the stoneware slab and made a lovely vase.  I really think this is something I want to explore further.

 I know what you’re thinking!  Shari has disappeared off the face of the Ethernet, having deserted her creative and artistic endeavours.  But no, you are wrong.  I have so much to show you it’s hard to know where to begin!   Firstly, I enrolled in a full time Art and Design course at college and have been so busy and productive, I have had no time to devote to my blog. However, I have lots to tell you about. This course is the best thing I have ever done.  I am loving every day and every workshop I’ve attended. The course covers drawing, painting, collage, printmaking, sculpture, ceramics, textiles, photography and art history.  Varied, interesting and exciting.  The first year is a series of workshops teaching us various techniques and building our skills.  The second year is working on our own major projects and specialising in our chosen area. .
