Making the Panorama
The technique combines plaster casting and printmaking. Collaged printing plates and found objects are impressed into clay, then cast and coloured in various ways. Find out more on one of my plaster printing courses.
The Panorama is fixed to a curved wall – this presented some challenges and involved a lot of maths!
"Can I say how impressed I am with the originality and technical quality of the final product in situ. I particularly enjoyed the invention of the narrative details along with those areas in which you have employed a restrained, near monochromatic palette of colours. As a ceramicist (as well as a painter) the technique of washing and wiping off on textured surfaces continues to produce magical effects. It is so rewarding to see it applied in a fresh context whilst also being given a high profile in such a public location."
