Tracking my Creative Process: Ceramics


This post will track my creative process
through a series of ceramics projects.

Sea & Shore Tarot Party

Nudibranchs, Seaworms,

alchemical athanor furnace



Project #2: Cup & Bowl Set

geometric tea sets & runic bowls

Project #1: Candelabra

Inspiration:

Tracking my Chronological Process:

1. Assignment / Take notes
(assignments give me a DEADLINE which I need!)
2. Sketch out a bunch of ideas & choose one
3. Build a 3D model
4. Research on Google
(in this case, looking at candles)
5. Journal / Sketch for clarity
6. Gather Inspiration images
(from the sources I have been looking at and reading about for a while)

 

I hope this information inspires you to try something new, creative and maybe even track your own creative process. It has been enlightening for me.
