FINDING A MARKET FOR MY WORK

THURSDAY, 9TH MARCH 2012

MORE PROBLEMS WITH COMPUTER, CAMERA AND CRANIUM TODAY, MAINLY THE LAST ON THE LIST. SO I WILL LEAVE YOU WITH A GROUP OF MORE IMAGES FOR FUNCTIONAL WORK  DESIGNED AND MADE DURING MY FINAL YEAR AT CROYDON COLLEGE OF ART. THESE WERE DONE AFTER HAVING ROUND TABLE DISCUSSIONS WITH USERS OF DOMESTIC POTTERY, TO DETERMINE THE OPTIMUM REQUIREMENTS THAT POSSIBLY NEED TO BE INCLUDED OR CONSIDERED IN ORDER TO SATISFY THE GREATEST NUMBER OF USERS.
