By Orli Ivanov, I saw this amazing set of work in a recent issue of Crafts Magazine, I just can’t even express how much I adore these figures, the textures are so interesting and have a real emotion. I find the imagining of the process for these amazing, check out the site for some shots of the actual making of one.

I use various clay bodies, which I overlap and stretch to create the textures, I then build a figure which is supported by a wood and metal frame. Once the figure is finished I cover it with the textures. When the piece is leather hard I cut it into sections and let it dry. I then bisque fire and reduction fire the piece. 

There is an exhibit of their work in the Bevere Gallery in Worcester from the 14th January - 4th February. I might try to get along!

Phillip Stearn’s Year of the Glitch is a daily documentation of strange yet beautiful glitches.

So far, Phillip’s focused on cameras — the photos here come from a 1.3MP Olympus digital camera,  a Canon G5, and a Canon Digital Rebel.

COMMUNICATIONS: Have your cake and eat it too

After we had made our cakes, we were asked to make a number of handrawn technical sketches of our cake.

I used this task as an opportunity to practise some of the drawing techniques we were taught in Communications during the beginning of the semester.
