i have been in farnham now for almost 6 weeks. things are going well. it took a while to get settled into the studio, and to do this i gave myself a project to make 90 cups. these cups were made during my first 2 weeks at the school. then i sandblasted and acid finished the cups. now i take a cup a day out with me, and do a drawing at some point, of anything from the day. this is done on the walk in the morning, or at dinner, or of shoes that give me blisters, anything. after this i take the cups back to the studio where i redo the drawing with enamel pencils, and fire them permanently onto the glass in a kiln. at the end i will have a visual diary of my time in farnham and have done a drawing a day for 90 days. so by then it will hopefully be a new good habit and i will have hopefully gained confidence in my drawing. almost 4 weeks of drawings done now.
