Ceramics!!

Last week I went to a talk about a group of Irish ceramic artists who travelled to the Chinese town of Fuping, Shaanxi, to make a ceramic collection for the Fule International Ceramic Art Museum. I found their work amazing. Elaine Riordan who was a part of this ceramic group gave the talk. She gave us an insight into the other artist works as well as her own pieces which was really interesting. I loved that the artist’s works were exhibited in our college gallery as we got to see them up close and in person which made me see them in a total different light as I could see the fine detail that went into these pieces.

I love the detail and tones that are in these pieces. I like how this artist has incorporated an architectural element into her pieces. Even though it’s a very structural piece there is still sense an organic element .
there were many other pieces that i found intersting and gave me great inspiralton for my own work.

The talk and exhibition gave me great inspiration for my project seeing how these artists took ceramic to a totally different level by using mediums I didn’t even think could be used in ceramics.
