Trade Union banners. Wood cut 1874, State Library Victoria. Political art at its most emotional and productive. I'm attracted to the hand-made aesthetic and the collaborative making process. It may be time to dust them off and take to the streets again. this one speaks for itself.

I wish I could attend this talk. they will hopefully publish the transcription somewhere. Glenn Adamson, editor of The Craft reader and co-editor of The Journal of Modern Craft, will be in conversation with John Roberts, author of Intangibities of Form, about the re-emergence of contemporary artists adopting craft skills and how this plays out with capitalist modes of production. this is the link

"...what happens when the hand made is replicated at industrial scale. This is a fair description of a recent group of monumental sculptures by the Swiss artist Urs Fischer, in which five lumps of clay, each casually squeezed in the artist's palm, were scanned, multiplied  many times in size and cast in aluminium. Fischer's fingerprints, now over a meter wide, are out only visual anchors in the

I had to take a week out of our new 'Indulgence' project to write a critical review of sources. So reading week was actually spent reading rather than catching up on previous projects as it normally is. So after a week of camping out at Glasgow uni library and feeling very much like the quintessential 'proper student' I handed in all 3356 words to find I only really needed to write around 1500...

Some photos from the development of the teapot. So far they have all cracked during firing (think the bisque never reached temperature) so ill hopefully have a lovely glazed one up soon- or I could just photoshop a cracked one but that would me cheating, and I hate photoshop.

I'm nearing the end of the formidable teapot project. Its seems the focus of direction away from making towards drawing has proved disastrous for me. My research has led me to interesting places - but my shoddy mould-making skills have let me down. My first pots are in the bisque firing. I'll hopefully be able to put up the results after the crit on friday. Fingers crossed.

I've been thinking a lot about craft within capitalism. Craft... Consumerism... Capitalism.... Communism even? Its seems like an interesting line of research for me. It was the Niaomi Klien artical in the guardian this weekend that got me thinking about it. They are the two C words (and ceramics obviously) that I could argue forever. i want to research communist folk craft traditions (which are

I spent a lovely day at the new ceramic galleries at the V&A. The new layout on the top floor really does the massive collection justice and its well catagorized. However, it is an absolute nightmare to get to. Travelling on a sleeper from Glasgow to London then getting to the V&A with the District and Circle lines closed was a hundred times easier than trying to reach the top floor once inside.
