These past days I had the priviledge to help Elmar Trenkwalder, building up his amazingly big ceramic sculpture sculpture @mdbkleipzig
With 13m long and 7m high it took 4 days, together with his wife Elizabeth and his brother Helmut. The result is really astonishing, I had never thought it possible to build something so big out of ceramics! On show till march, don't miss it!

After a long climb the rain stopped, and the mist slowly covered the green hills with an air of #mystique

There is no better way to #unwind than with these endless shores, deep #cliffs will make you feel small, and the #ocean has enough waves for hours of thinking.. #summerisgone

I woke up that morning with the sound of the seaguls besides this old en #crumbling #newslainscastle

Fresh from it's #sandmould it was still warm the next day.. the little stones in #bronze and #iron.

I was really suprised with so much detail in the iron! All the little cracks and bumbs of it's life as a stone are now beautifully captured, and will again change over time and have it's own life as rust is #inevitably

With a lot of help of both Eden and Uilst that made it possible to to keep the bronze stone #hollow and beautifully thin.. I used the crack from the original stone to show the inside

My first time of making slip clay, this was the first batch of stones. The clay fires entirely black, and it was well worth all the work! Very happy with the full black color of these small beauties :) Part of an art installation I'm still working on.. With a lot of help from the best ceramics teacher Beth! @scottishsculptureworkshop
