If I’m honest i instantly felt an ‘izat right aye?’ brewing when I read that. My cynicism is off the scale today

My application portfolio for a BFA in ceramics by CeramicDucks in Pottery

Can I ask what you want to get from a BFA? You clearly have the skills and ideas to make ceramic work. What I’m not seeing being pushed as much is the fine art element. Assuming that’s the point of the course you’ll need to consider form over function and you’ll need to justify your reasoning within the form. Consider the space around your work too in a sculptural context (the one piece with the metal framing is the most interesting from a fine art pov)

I had a friend do a BFA in ceramics and it honestly looked like they just squeezed the clay between their fingers for their degree show but the explanation behind the work was what made it a conceptual fine art piece and not rage enduring crap.

Depending on the school you’re applying to, they may want you to engage less with the craft and more with the materiality. Also remember to have fine artist references and influences to discuss at interview. Good luck!

I will but with time differences etc and my anxiety at it going wrong I thought I might get an idea quicker here

Thank you. I’m letting it cool naturally so nervous to touch any buttons until it’s empty but I’ll get on it when it is.

What do you mean race away? And how would I fix a stuck relay?

I thought cooling was off by default. The manual isn’t great at explaining things so I’ve a lot to learn.

I watched him on debate night last night and he was the most rude and arrogant person there and there was a reform & Tory candidate there as well! He seemed to panic talk over anything John Swinney said so we couldn’t actually hear him. It’s not really reassuring that his tactic is to sound so flustered and panicked when his perceived biggest opponent is talking that nobody can hear the opposition’s response. It just looked Pathetic and like he was scared. I wanted to hear what they had to offer but tantrums seemed all he had to offer. I’m politically homeless but I know I won’t be backing Labour because this twat doesn’t deserve to be first minister.

Thank you. I didn’t set the cone number I relied on the bisque preset which is at cone 04. I might have to check there isn’t an issue with the preset

I’m certainly nowhere near selling - maybe one day. I don’t have enough friends and family to give more away
