The ceramics materials have now arrived. I have spent the past few weeks settling into the studio, some of the first plaster moulds are being cast….progress in making the moulds is going well but slower than I would like. Donations of door knobs to cast are slowly trickling into the studio, special thanks to Julian Taylor for kindly donating some door handles for the project.
I have also been looking to develop more links both with local arts organisations and national networks for the project. I am hoping to visit the British Ceramics Biennial in Stoke on Trent this week to talk about Portal and its development over the coming months. I am also looking to develop an international aspect to this project and looking to work with an international groups of artists, focusing on remote working to develop new links and ideas.
I am still looking for donations of ceramic door knobs and handles, so please if you have an odd, interesting or decorative door knob then please pop it into Loudwater studios. #Ludlowhandles alternatively you can post donations to Loudwater Studios.
