https://instagram.com/p/Bwd4H4VliFD Two friends and I have a small joint exhibition coming up and as part of it decided to see what we could make that combined all 3 of our media: wet felting, glass fusing and ceramics. Here is our first piece (almost finished) depicting our lovely coastal environment. 2 glass panels that include local wind turbines and distant Maunsel Forts (built to house large guns to defend the Thames estuary from air attacks during the Second World War); a strip of wet felted sea and pebble beach; and 4 oxide glazed ceramic tiles impressed with amonites, shells and fossils. The plan was to make stand-alone pieces that are combined for the exhibition and can be taken apart afterwards. The glass-fuser’s husband has made us the frame to unify the different components. We we have another joint piece but haven’t got a photo yet so I’ll share that when we bring the bits together.

Looks wonderful. I like the combination of the different textures and forms. I am curios about why you want to take them apart after and not sell them as a whole.

Good question Ann. If the price was right, why not flog it and split the proceeds?

Yes, I didn’t explain that properly. We will offer it for sale as it is but if it doesn’t sell at the exhibition we can take it apart and sell our own sections through our normal routes. It’s a new thing for us to produce joint pieces so I think we’re just being a bit cautious as we don’t know how it will be received.

This is the second piece: glass serving platter, porcelain tealight holder & felt coasters. The tealight holder wasn’t finished when this photo was taken. It’s had a further firing with a lustre glaze so I’m looking forward to seeing it complete, which will be Wednesday when we set up the exhibition www.ipernity.com/doc/2373440/48513334

Wow! The water Lily combination is a great idea.

Great collaborative work Lindsay producing both a 2D picture and a 3D piece with moveable pieces. I,m sure they will find a home just as they are.

Thanks, Antje, it will be interesting to see how people react - whether they find them interesting or just odd!

The lily piece is lovely and the three of you are really on to something here - very good luck with the enterprise!

Thank you, Lyn. We haven’t talked about any ongoing collaboration but we do get on very well and our overall work seems to sit comfortably together - we all do a lot of coastal colours but the mediums are so different that they seem to complement each other rather than compete. We’re in a small gallery for 2 weeks from tomorrow with these 2 joint pieces alongside individual work so we’ll see how that goes and whether it will lead to more.

The water lily is lovely as is but I really want to see it after the glazed is fired. My plan for today is to dye some silk scarf blanks for a class next weekend.
