Putting last winter's beads together into necklaces before it gets cold enough to pit fire the next season's batch.

Shaping and marking beads.

#PortfolioDay so I hear.

I make #Pitfired #Ceramic #Sculptures mostly of #LifeModels and #Watercolour paintings mostly of buildings and camp sites I've visited. I used to do a lot of #LifeModelling and some #SelfPortrait #MonochromePhotography, although not so much these days as there's very little modelling work where I live now.

@Curator question (if you're up for those, also for anyone who cares to answer)...

I was initially using only hashtags specific to what I was doing eg #Pitfired #Kurinuki #AnatomicalStudy #VulvaArt but then I realised I was the only account using the hashtags I use. When I searched them all I got was me.

What do other folks do about this? Do we just hashtag more general concepts?

Thx

Another little plant pot.

A simple little pitfired stoneware hanging flowerpot.

It actually ended up being a bit too small to maintain a stable soil environment. I haven't come up with a new purpose for it yet. It might be able to support a tiny succulent.

#introduction I make small #Monochrome #Watercolours of buildings, particularly in #SmallTowns. I also #HandSculpt #Pitfired #Ceramic #Sculptures of #LifeModels, especially #Trans and #Intersex models.

Before covid I toured au & NZ specialising in #Modelling for #FineArtPhotography, however I won't travel in a plague. I still work in #UnionOrganising & #WorkersRights in #LifeModelling.

I dabble in other media including #SelfPortrait #MonochromePhotography

Fletcher is my dog.

Due remote location, kiln access is an expensive logistical challenge. I've found pitfiring works well for very small items, but most of these sculptures won't harden all the way through after a day in a pitfire. Explosions are also an issue.

I finally did it. I made an #ArtPosting account.

I will be regularly spamming #Watercolours and #Pitfired #Ceramic #Sculptures there.

I will sometimes post #LifeDrawing #ArtNudePhotography and sculptures of nudes there, always behind a content warning. I will always tag these with #Nudity and #NSFW because I've been advised there's an option to filter out posts with specific tags and that those are common tags to filter if people don't want to see that content.

This is not a money making account, but it may be in future if I can get my arse into gear.

A small talk #introduction

I'm a #Queer #LifeModel who does #Watercolours (mostly buildings I've visited) and #Pitfired #Ceramic #Sculpture (mostly human forms). I also work at a med school and I'm involved in arts #UnionOrganising

I used to be a #SW pre-covid when I lived in a city, but there are no venues for a 300km radius and I was very much venue based.

I've been happily married for nearly a decade. We have a #CavalierKingCharlesSpaniel and two ex street cats both named after the same dead white guy (we all make decisions when we're young). We fostered a third cat for a short while and she was also named after the same dead white guy.

We live in a 1910 cottage. It's in livable condition but needs a lot of work, which we're learning to do. We're a full day's travel from any major city (on the bright side we're a fairly equal distance from three capital cities).

Small scale #SubsistenceFarming is pretty standard around here as fresh food availability is low and intermittent. I have a bit of farming experience from past employment and am currently working on maintaining the existing #Orchard and building a large #VegetableGarden
