Biotech Artist for the Day


I went to a workshop in the Science Gallery as part of their new exhibition; Visceral. They had a bio lab set up on the ground floor where the workshop was held. The curators of the exhibition gave demonstrations on how to work with tissue cultures and then the rest of us donned the white lab coats and had a go ourselves. It was a fascinating experience to work as a biotech Artist.

Slip Spray

Spray with Slip
Here I crocheted a hyperbolic form, sprayed the inside with porcelain slip and then fired it. The wool burned away in the kiln to reveal an impression of the pattern and form in porcelain.
