Pinholes and ceramics! I'm in heaven!
« on: August 22, 2017, 02:48:55 PM »
Very few people know that apart from photography and cameras, I have a very deep love for ceramics. Even fewer people know that I've been through two years of ceramics classes. So when I saw this, it was this YES moment.

Absolutely gorgeous...

Those are cool. I particularly like the one with three legs and lots of eyes.

Thanks for sharing that.  My sister in law does pottery, I just sent her a link to that web site.  Maybe I can get her to make something like that in her own style.  She does great stuff, she taught pottery at an art college and now has her own business.

Fantastic! Pinhole cameras as artistic craftwork and really great pictures. Love the skulls and still lifes. That's something for sure. Still smiling ....

Francois, I am and have been a big fan of Steve's Pinhole's for sometime. My co worker does incredible ceramics and I am hoping he will make me a pinhole camera one of these days.

I sure hope you get the chance to have a ceramic pinhole one day.
If it wasn't that I don't have access to a kiln, I would definitely try to make some.

Gwin, who I live with, makes jewellery mostly. She did train as a ceramicist, though, it was what her degree was about.

She loves these.

I'm going to try to get her to make me one. In enamelled copper. Watch this space!

This is her site, if anyone is interested. Must fix it, and sort out those photos!
