Exhibition 2013

A new venue this year after the Elizabeth hall was reduced to this:-

The venue is now the new bowling alley:-

Opened on the 4th Sept:-

Here is my wall hanging sculpture made with
1. Wood I salvaged from a pallet.
2. Clay I dug from near mudbank and fired.
3. Copper I salvaged from an old water cylinder.
4. Part printed on my 3D printer.

I made the clay part first as that shrinks when drying and firing. The plastic component was designed and printed to match the same dimensions as the clay. I then cut the dovetail in the wood to fit the clay and plastic. Next I cut a wooden blank to fit the clay and plastic which I covered and soldered with copper sheet.

In the image you can see some joker has placed a penny in the outstretched hand.

The title of the piece is emergence which is supposed to show the technological progression of mankind.
