I have had ideas buzzing around in my head recently and I am loving it! I am looking to apply for the Harley Christmas Fair, which has a deadline for March! I have made my first piece for the collection I will be submitting. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I am really pleased with it, it is called ' Raindrops keep falling on my neck'.</div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
When I make the next one I need to make the raindrops on a smaller mandrel so they have smaller holes. I am going to do a mixture of colours; greys, pinks etc.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I will also do a matching set of earrings and a ring. I will also be putting these in my Etsy shop before the fair. Check it out at; <a href="https://www.etsy.com/uk/shop/SJWalshDesigns?ref=pr_shop_more" target="_blank">My Etsy shop</a></div>

The summer has just flown by what with graduation, moving back to Surrey and starting my four jobs! It was such a whirl-wind, I had be trawling and trawling the job sites, applying for jobs left right and centre and I had even been to a few interviews but when I moved back to Surrey in July I was still unemployed. However, after a few weeks of being home I go an interview and a trial at a local goldsmiths and got the job :) I also was asked to do some glass workshops at a local craft studio - <a href="http://www.glazedallover.co.uk/">Glazed all Over</a> in Wallington as well as being their new Saturday girl. This all happened in the same week so it was all so sudden! As well as both of those I had also been offered the role of Jewellery Tutor at SCOLA on a Monday night - so so exciting. Now thats only three, but to keep my busy during the summer I became my dad's assistant to help him out and since it was going so well, I go up to London once a week to help him out and get paid!<br />
<br />
So my life if packed, which I'm so grateful for! So no only am I working four jobs, I am trying to go to the gym (got some stubborn weight to lose!), working on my own collection and reconnecting with friends and family after being in Nottingham for the last 3 years.<br />
<br />
Working at the Jewellers if giving me such valuable experience in techniques, general runnings of a jewellery business and amazing contacts. I was able to attend IJL - the big UK jewellery show at Earls Court as I am now officially 'Trade'. It is amazing what I am learning and how differently things are done in the real world, there are so many little things that I was taught at uni that I have since found out is totally wrong.<br />
<br />
By learning all these new things I am able to pass them on to my students at SCOLA, I teach a small group of complete beginners once a week. They are such a lovely group, really enthusiastic and interested in the course. I am really enjoying it and teaching gives me such a buzz - I can barely sleep on a Monday night as I get so excited what I can show them the following week.<br />
<br />
Anyway... enough about the other stuff, more about me! I have finally put my favourite rings in some frames and I am really pleased with them. I am hoping to put them up in my studio when I finally get one.<br />
<br />

<br />
And I have been exploring a new range of jewellery, which I am hoping to launch in the New Year. I have a few examples; one is completely melted frit and another is partly melted frit. The partly melted one is a frit mix of transparent and opaque glass and the opaque has sat at the top - not an effect I really like but this is the start. I have a few more siting in the kiln at the moment so lets hope the kiln fairies have been kind :)<br />

So university is over, I have moved back to Surrey (give or take some boxes) and am starting to figure out my life as a grown up! I have been applying for jobs, competitions, professional development opportunities and developing my work. I have once stockist so far in Leicestershire - JG Jeweller, so if you are in the area check it out! But I have put together a catalogue of work so that I can approach fairs, galleries and shops to stock my work. I have had quite a bit of interest for some Christmas fairs which I am very hopeful about :) Keeps your eyes peeled for dates.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">

No only did we have to set up the degree show but we also has to submit out sketchbooks, samples and research for assessment as part of our over all grade. I set this up last weekend but haven't had a chance to make a post. </div>

I added two shelves to my board to add some interest, on the lefthand self I have two photos of my rings that are included in my show.

At the top right I have the rest of my frit samples (on white and clear donut beads), with my initial colour samples strung together.

<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Then I had three plinths, at different heights, much to my tutors hatred! As he wanted me to have three low plinths (50cm tall) that just ran along the bottom of my boards. </div>

The final result! Due to the window it was difficult to photograph but I am really pleased. Especially with the boards, and the 7 hours they took to put up! Now just a few bit of paper work and I will have finished uni! Ah. </div>

So this weekend I looked through all my work and realised that I had all but one of my final pieces finished. I just needed to polish them up and they will be ready! Ah! </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I then needed to sort out my display, something my tutor promised to see me about on Friday... but never did. So I began preparing what I wanted to create this, my new revised degree show layout. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjuzg3Bu_htfvHI7qxrrFdgUJaSrRgPh1Dd3lKVNz5Phpba5TaujjIxx6MNZjJhUClvMSzAF9u5xHLxjTrN9rMa7RSNKfAzsm7l2JCzGY8BgpLT1SLhQpTMqwgXHE5zcUz49MfxntsjpBNe/s1600/Degree+show+layout3.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjuzg3Bu_htfvHI7qxrrFdgUJaSrRgPh1Dd3lKVNz5Phpba5TaujjIxx6MNZjJhUClvMSzAF9u5xHLxjTrN9rMa7RSNKfAzsm7l2JCzGY8BgpLT1SLhQpTMqwgXHE5zcUz49MfxntsjpBNe/s320/Degree+show+layout3.jpg" width="226" /></a></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
My plan is to have two plinths (50x50cm) with three hanging boards (40x40cm) above with mini plinths (9x9cm) and photographs. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
So I began with 6mm mdf, which I primed with PVA.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>

I have been given two boards on the main stretch next to a ceramacist.<br />
<br />
So I had originally planed for one 8x4ft board and shelves, however the boards cannot take a huge amount of weight so I had to come up with plan B; plinths. And now that I have two boards, I had to make a plan C!<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjbPC87iYdOq3L3lCgbrJisn2covhvBeomZyl4ZA-Cbu4jRXA8QGrHWxEpa-7LgcU9twnNDMyyRUA3dxQkMN_qz0aEBRxxvKbDhLEWlYnKhY9FomtFvmVTvsM2qkQIgXoOBbI5_wMHOZuPi/s1600/Degree+show+layout2.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="400" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjbPC87iYdOq3L3lCgbrJisn2covhvBeomZyl4ZA-Cbu4jRXA8QGrHWxEpa-7LgcU9twnNDMyyRUA3dxQkMN_qz0aEBRxxvKbDhLEWlYnKhY9FomtFvmVTvsM2qkQIgXoOBbI5_wMHOZuPi/s400/Degree+show+layout2.jpg" width="352" /></a></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
So this is a rough idea of my plan. Two boards which create a 'corner' and two plinths which hold a selection of my blown pieces. I think that the plinth on the right will be lower and larger. But this is something that can be adjusted nearer the time. Its getting so close now! </div>
<br />Sarah-Janehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/02871780377909341564noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7610641500249119996.post-33642234477509314742013-04-28T12:39:00.002+01:002013-04-28T12:39:55.142+01:00Signed limited edition<div style="text-align: center;">
I decided it was best to sign my blown work, as much as I'd like to have my jewellery Hallmarked with my own stamp for the degree show its just not plausible (both cost and time wise) but hopefully in the future I will. But I wanted to sign my blown pieces as if I was to sell them in the shop/degree show I want my name on them. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Before I could sign them I dremeled the bottoms to create a smooth finish and them covered them with a felt bottom, one, to make them smooth on the surface they will be on and two, to add some stability so they don't roll around. </div>

Thought you were going to read something a bit more saucy did you? Tut tut. I popped over the Stuart Akroyd's studio this morning with a friend so that I could finish the bottoms of my large blown twirls ready for the degree show in a few weeks! AH! So that is it now, all my blown pieces are done I just need to get the rest of my jewellery collection finished and the creative practice part will be done. So did you want to see... :)<br />

So I spent the whole of yesterday I sat on my torch testing out my new frits and my new bead roller (which I have fallen in love with and will probably never make another round bead). </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
So today mean jewellery making, I spent the morning griding and preparing my 'gems' and then this after noon I made a silver ring a pendant. However today was a disaster! I left the plastic on the bottom of my silver and melted to it. Then I left the binding wire on my pendant in the pickle so I now have a copper pendant (I'm hoping I can sand it and save it!) and finally I placed my ring into its bezel setting and snapped the top off it. A rubbish day but lots of lessons learnt! </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Anywho.. my new sterling silver ring! I think it looks fab :)</div>

So in theory... these are the pieces that I will be making. However, one day back on the torch and my imagination got the better of me and I create a number of 'gems' which I love that look nothing like my designs. Oh well....</div>

So there has been a development into my work, I have moved onto silversmithing (with 7 weeks to go, what on earth am I thinking?!?) </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
So I was told that it was easy so I gave it a go in copper with a CIM opaque pink twist 'gem'. </div>

I found the bezel making relatively easy to make and was quite pleased with the results. As my workshop technician is... well interesting I have been kicked out over the Easter holidays so when I return on the 8th April, its all hands on deck to make my final collecting in silver. AHH! </div>

So last Thursday and Friday we had our photographs taken ready for it to
be sent for print early April. I was hoping to have a silver ring to
photograph but I wasn't totally pleased with my silver clay one and I
felt that it did not show the true style of my work. So I chose one of
my unfired copper clay rings with my friend Plum, as my hand model. </div>

This ring is hopefully the first of many. It has a transparent ink blue lamp work 'cab' with #00 clear frit (which for some reason has a reaction when I use it). </div>

I am in love with this ring. It's pretty beastly and weighs in at 10g (I'm hoping the silver is under 7.78g so I don't have to have it hallmarked - not something I can afford to do at the moment). It is made from 999 pure silver and effetre glass. </div>

So the clay came out of the kiln the next day... however being so excited to use it and not worried about the cost. (Copper clay is £0.12 per gram compared to silver which is £2.40 per gram!!) I just went ahead and popped them in maxine on the same program as the pure silver;</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
550'C per hour to 600'C. Hold 600'C for 30 mins. Down to 520'C for 10 mins. Down by 80'C until 370'C. END. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
However, without putting any thought into it, the copper wouldn't fire at this low temperature. After some research into copper clay and fiering schedules it is apparent that the copper needs to be fired at 970'C for 30 mins and then quenched in water and then pickeled. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
As Maxine only goes up to 650'C this will have to be done in the test kiln at uni. In addition to this, the glass will have to be added after the pieces have been finished and a 15% shrinkage will have to be taken into consideration. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
So here are the outcome;</div>

I know they don't look very different but they haven't been fired properly. Unfortunately the pink ring didn't survive (it was really thin to start with). So tomorrow I will make some more without the glass and pop them in for 30 mins at 970'C and see what happens :) </div>

So we have our degree show photographs in two weeks... so I needed something to be photographed! Today I spent the day playing with copper clay :) It was surprisingly easy to work with and was just like earthenware. So here is a sneaky peak of the first few rings before they have been fired. </div>

My three initial glass blowing pieces came back today. I am please with one of them, the other two not so much. However, I have learnt a lot and can now progress with more. As glass blowing isn't taught on my course due to H&S we design the work and take it to Anthony Wassell at the Harley Gallery. </div>

This next piece is made from recycled coloured offcuts from Anthony. I chose opaque yellow, transparent red and a transparent orange (which you can hardly see). I am not sure why I chose this colours as they are really not me! The top we decided to try and manipulate by hand, I had a go, but we got too excited and melted it and ruined the curl. <br />

And the final piece is a transparent indigo with emerald green foil ontop. As the foil has been applied between layers of clear it has air bubbles which have statred to pop in transit. I like the efffect the foil has but I don't think it is as striking as the frit. I also experiemtned with the shape here, creating a more subtle curve instead of a twist. </div>
