So...here's a look at how I spend at least 90% of my life (ok maybe 80 but that's still a lot!) My studio looks like this


All semester I have been working hard on my thesis,as I mentioned, consists on pewter teapots. Pewter is a very low melting, easy to manipulate metal, which allows me to work detailed and fast.
Here is an example of how i go through the steps of creating a piece...

I start with a drawing to reference scale and shape


Then I make the separate parts





Then I add the detail to each part with chasing and repose(a method of surface embellishment using pitch)




When they are complete I join the pieces together



The complete piece is sitting on my desk awaiting its big reveal at my show. guess you better be there to see it.
