Ceramic Review: Masterclass with Tessa Eastman

'What I love about ceramics is that you can make something so solid, permanent and tangible from something that is so intangible and is always changing in nature. To try and fix it, make it permanent, feels very grounding.' In this video, ceramic artist Tessa Eastman discusses her work, inspirations, and the processes behind her Baby Cloud Bundle sculptures, which combines slab-building, press-moulding and coiling.
Learn how Tessa makes her work in the full step-by-step masterclass inside Ceramic Review issue 297 (May/June 2019). You can order current and back issues of the magazine from ceramicreview.com.

[@jacquiwmch]

What beautiful work Tessa, thank you for sharing

[@saraheveleduc]

I would have loved to see how she did the baby cloud without the mold

[@annemarielucas5561]

Brilliant work. Thank you for sharing.

[@anbu100]

How does the air traped inside the clouds not make it break when going trough the fiering prosess?

[@samirford7596]

Dunno if you guys cares but if you are stoned like me during the covid times then you can watch pretty much all the new series on InstaFlixxer. Been watching with my girlfriend these days :)

[@alfredokorbyn4341]

@Samir Ford yea, I have been watching on instaflixxer for since december myself :D

[@chungkit8624]

it is good to have a text explanation,please pay attention to the placement position to prevent you from seeing your demo.

[@Malicetheoriginal]

It is amazing work but I was very distracted by the
umm's I'm afraid.

[@anaclaudiacostalopes8299]

Estou muito impressionada. Eu achava que as formas só poderiam serem moldadas com barro líquido, obrigada, seu trabalho me inspirou

[@manfsntkane3000]

I actually didn't notice Her "umm"s until you pointed them out.
But now you've pointed them out I think she's even sweeter

@Ceramic Review: A five minute demo is not a class, much less a "master class."
Nice work by the artist but give me a break, CR. You've sat in classes in high school and college. Did *any* of them go like this?

[@CONEHEADDK]

@Gary Henzler I agree, but the title also made me expect a much longer video. I wish I had had access to all the fantastic videos on YT, when I was a beginner. But it's not just art, that I have learned far more from, than all my years in school, with more or less only average skilled teachers without any drive or enthusiasme.

Wow conceited NOBODYS can be lame in their comments try making a video to post

[@-iIIiiiiiIiiiiIIIiiIi-]
