TOUCH
Untitled
The TOUCH project was a great experience for me, going and teaching the children at the Deaf and Blind school was a wonderful experience. It was a challenge getting the children to work with the clay some of them loved the feel of it and others couldn't stand the touch of it. The child I worked with was really into his work he wanted to make as many things as he could, he seemed to enjoy the feel of the clay and worked with his hands to make different shapes.
My pieces for this project were inspired by some readings I did on ceramic artists who are visually impaired. There work was inspiring and while making my work I began playing with the clay experimenting how far I could push it, with this being the first time I have used clay I was taking chances and exploring ways I could make my piece stimulating to the touch. I wanted it to be something smooth but something that you're fingers have to follow along to draw out the shapes and lines in it. I chose two different glazes for my pieces one that was extremely smooth and soft and the other one that was still a gloss glaze but it has more of a texture to it.
Materials:
Clay
Glaze
