New Work Under Progress-Cordless Drill










The images posted are of another new piece I have been working on when I have time. The images show the built form and the journey through the bisque and the first glaze firing, with exposed clay around the handle.  I plan on using a different material for the grip area.  The other pictures show the process of building up the layers on the surface that I do for certain pieces of my work.  I still have to add other text and information pertinent to the tool being rendered. I have hand carved the drill bit which will be added last.  This piece is hand built using earthenware slabs and press molded additions.  I have some more work to do still...I have an idea which includes some slip cast porcelain pieces to go along with the drill.  I have been toying with a couple of ideas, drawings I have done for more tangible ideas, to visually see the thought behind the piece.  For now this where I am at with the piece, and I don't want to give away any details just yet...since they aren't carved in stone.
