Shows Over

The show at the tailors gallery is completed. It was quits successful I made over £200 but I sold mainly to friends and other exhibitors, that could be understood in a variety of ways. Possibly the more you know about me the more you like my work. How that would work if I didn't meet people is unclear. Here are some pictures from the event ...


One of my new breed of pot, sold this one.


My earrings in use..,


Not a great picture. It looks dark and over crowded.

I am off to Greece in 1 hour! I have to set up my MA exhibition the day we get back, and back to school the following day! See you next week!

New family in colour...

The new family of bullet shapes in colour. Ok, something not quite satisfying about them. I just can't put my finger on what it is.









The glaze on this one is a bit molten and lumpy. Unintentional.




New Wall Hangings

Really happy with the new stuff I made! I think this is an important point, a ceramic epiphany!

Also have a look on my Flickr for more pictures.....

Upcoming Exhibition

I will be doing a show at the Tailor's gallery http://www.thetailorsgallery.co.uk/ on the 26, 27 and 28th, so I have been making jewellery that relates to the space at the Tailor's Gallery. It is run by Patrick Walsh a Tailor and Fashion Designer who has designed for Cheryl Cole and Robbie Williams. Not my cup of tea, but still pretty accomplished.

I have been posting on my twitter http://twitter.com/#!/AnneCastano


Please have a look at these if you fancy little updates and lots of pictures.


So heres what I have been doing......

Semi translucent window hangings, these have not been glazed or fired yet so I am yet to see if they will actually work. You can see the holes I have pierced through the clay.

Also some earrings, again in the early stages, I will post some more pictures when they are finished and have been glazed




Above is a vessel I made using my disc form, I have used porcelain paper clay, I have done this before and when I fired it up to 1280C it cracked and showed some of the stoneware pot underneath. It worked quite well, so I am hoping that this will work out, I really like the pot.

I will be back next week to let you know how it goes, and post some pictures, bye bye for now x
