After the reviews, i have continued by cutting one of my designs into a wood block. I wanted to use lino as i had a go at wood block before and it was a disaster, however i gave it another go and found that the tools are really important as they have to be sharp or the whole thing turns out terrible. Wood block is quite fluffy as it is but if the tools aren't sharp the fluffiness is out of control :)
I also have built the 2d drawing of the woman building design. It was a challenge but the result is fab. Delighted with the result and would like to take it further, however  there are many options either painting the design on canvas, or perhaps casting it. I could just plaster on top of the card model, or make it out of different metals using rivets to bind it. I'll talk to a tutor to be advised.
i went to check on the bowl i glazed, hoping that it had been fired, but its not ..... yet. Ill check again next week.
