I haven't stopped yet..!

So its down to London for me and my fellow graduates on Monday!! 

We are exhibiting in the graduate show, New Designers in Islington for a week.

I am just coming to the end of a mountain of printing off for various information leaflets and press packs! 

 My room currently looks like a production line.. 

This last couple of weeks, I have been working on a 3rd large copper vessel to take to the show as 3 is a better number than 2 (So I have been told!) although for me that has meant extra work and stress...

This new piece is based  on Gothic architecture and I have attempted to marry together my love for old text, the architecture itself and collage. 

I attempted to torch enamel the piece which came hand in hand with its own challenges but I conquered them! not as well as i'd initially hoped but i think i did a fair job! 

Anyway here it is...

So.... I achieved a BA Honours degree in Applied art today and I feel like I've achieved so much.
It feels quite strange now - what to do??

The amount I have learned in 8 very short months is outstanding!

Here are a few pictures of my final pieces...

Random Images!

Just love this photo I took in Betws-Y-Coed, North Wales at the beginning of last Autumn!! Just caught the end of the greens! It was a Beautiful day for choosing Christmas trees in the forest!

Welcome to my Blog!!

Well to begin with my name is Eva Roberts, I live in a beautiful part of North Wales and I'm currently trying to finish a degree in Applied Art. 


 I don't know quite what I will talk about in this blog but I hope it will be at least a little bit interesting and  you will hopefully get an insight into what i'm all about and where my work is at... Enjoy :) (Oh and I have 2 dogs 2 rabbits and 2 gerbils!! just incase of floods I am starting my collection now!)

This is Conwy...

Well..... How paperwork takes over your life so quickly!! Especially when you  have a to-do list as long as mine! 

Today was a day for enamel tests which were reasonably successful, these also seemed to take an age to get through... Although in the process I learned a few things;

1. Don't try to be precise 
2. White enamel doesn't take well to colours being applied on top
3. You can enamel already fired pieces of clay in an enamel kiln (Handy to know.. if you can form any kind of relationship with ceramics. I have tried and Failed many times and have decided to throw in the towel!!)

My workspace today looked rather industrious! if only it was like this at all times!!

And these are my new enamels!!
