Decided to remove plaster bases for my sculpture from the moulds; I have made 5 so far which is hard work but there is something nice about a crisp clean piece of white plaster. Making the mould is the worst bit I think but the better the mould the better the outcome will be. You can't make a silk purse out of a pigs ear!
The hottest day of the year so far so we sat outside on the grass eating our lunch, it really was lovely. All the students in our year get on really well, right from the start we seemed to gel. If I am honest the age gap doesn't bother me at all, in fact being the oldest relic in the studio is quite a label to carry.
The description usually attributed to students is not true to FAFD students on my course; there are the odd ones who arrive late on a regular basis but most work really hard, I have never worked harder in my life, past employers will smile if they read this but it is true; I arrive at 9am and leave around 5pm, 5 days a week so it is full time. I leave home at 8am full of excitement for the day ahead. It can be really taxing some days but I can cope just about and quite relish the different modules but the best bit is the company, who I hope won't mind if I keep in touch long after we graduate. Gulp, did I just type that?
