Glazing Animal Sculptures -Brian Hollingworthj

Two peices of sculpture ready for glazing and finishing. They have dried and then been fired in my electric kiln. I fire this to 1030C - quite HOT ! The clay changes in the firing into a hard material that is still absorbant. Glazes and stains are applied; all by hand with great care. Everything in ceramics takes time !

I have posted more pictures of the process on Facebook

I have joined Facebook and am finding it fun ! The pictures above are on my Facebook page. I am putting pictures on as I work ! It is helpful as clients can use the page to see ther work as it progresses - then send a link to friends to see. It all adds to the fun !

The pictures are of an anteater sculpture I have just made because I wanted too! I have always like the strange shape of anteaters. They are wonderful creatures full of character. An incredible shape !

 

The new site is proving a success too. My wife has been updating both of my web sites and they have a lot of new work featured on them.

Beaulieu Exhibition 'How High the Moon' Hare Sculpture

Exhibition at Beaulieu Estate Hampshire

'How High the Moon' Hare sculpture

The sculpture is now installed into the Surrey Scuplture Society sculpture Trail at Beaulieu.

The exhibition has now started and is on until September 3rd 2012. Delighted to have o sculpture selected for the exhibition. It has been put into a wild meadow near the Palace at Beaulieu. There is a path to the side of it, but as you can see in the pictures it is so well hidden that the hare looks as if it is quite at home in the new setting.  Such a well chosen site - thanks to the organiser of the trail. 

The sculpture can also be viewed on my web site www.hollingworth-bronze-sculpture.co.uk



New Exhibition May - September

How High the Moon -Bronze Resin Hare

Delighted that one of my hare sculptures has been accepted for Exhbition on the sculpture trail at Beaulieu this summer. The exhibition runs from May to September so I am sure the Hare will enjoy it's new surroundings.! There is an opportunity to buy too so clients in the West country will be able to see my work first hand.
