My name is Kim Farmer, I am a 3rd year Glass student at Wolverhampton University.
The majority of my work is kiln cast but I didn't learn how to cast until the second year of my course after I spend the first year doing ceramics and textiles as well as glass. In the glass section of my course I spent a lot of time working in hot glass, I still occasionally go into the hot shop but that's if it's really cold everywhere else.
For this last semester I will be carrying on with kiln casting because I feel my work is strongest working method (and doing a bit of hot casting just for fun) and I will need something strong and well finished to display at the Degree Show and for New Designers. I will be posting my progress on here as often as I can.
I have decided to write my log book in the form of a blog so I can keep up to date with my work and so my technical notes are always accessible.
I would like it for any visitors to the site to post comment on my work to let me know what they think or if they have any questions or advice.
