Carving !

this is a really popular technique in ceramics. Their are many tings you can do using extraction. By carving you can create 3D images making them pop out of your art. You can ever carve an image into the piece leaving an impression. This technique has been used since anicent times for decorative pourposes and even to get a point across. One way of carving I find interesting is as shown in the picture above . This man has painted his piece using stains and slips. While still wet he then carves the desing out after.

VAL LYLE
Influenced by archetypes and the subconscious.
I chose Lyle because I find her work very interesting.
I love her organic style and when I look at all the pieces she has
created ideas just flow into my mind. When she makes her art
she doesnt jus wake up and say ok i guess I'll make something today.
No, she takes time and looks into her subconscious mind. She says she is
comfortable working with her subconscious. This is why i really like this
particular artist. She has some amazing art and makes a lot of life figures,
real things like people, bodies, flowers and such. My concentration is nature I really like to make pieces from real life which may also explain why I enjoy this artist so much.
