Dawn Turner: January 2013
http://dawnturner.blogspot.com/2013_01_01_archive.html
Tuesday, 22 January 2013. Last Wednesday, yes, one of those days after we'd already had a considerable snow fall, myself and Gavin went on a walk with the support and guidance of a couple of the Walking for Health leaders, and some of the group members. It will take you to the Wikipedia page about it, which is as good a start as any. Happy history hunting. Well, I didn't actually use the black and white setting here! Tuesday, January 22, 2013. Wednesday, 16 January 2013. As part of The Metal Age. Gavin h...

Dawn Turner: Wow, what a difference colour makes!
http://dawnturner.blogspot.com/2013/06/wow-what-difference-colour-makes.html
Sunday, 23 June 2013. Wow, what a difference colour makes! A couple of photograms that I'd started with my AA2A research. So, I did a couple of sessions in black and white before Chris, the technician showed me how to do colour printing (well, technically, didn't show me, as unlike with B&W where you can expose and print using the red safe-light, with colour you have to work in complete.

Dawn Turner: April 2012
http://dawnturner.blogspot.com/2012_04_01_archive.html
Monday, 23 April 2012. Remember that funny stuff that used to pop in your mouth? Don't know why, it must be the retro colours, but when this dish came out of the kiln, it was what I immediately thought of. Monday, April 23, 2012. Thursday, 19 April 2012. To win one of my pendants? Last week was the annual "Flame Off" exhibition at Towcester, organised by Tuffnells Glass. So I have decided to still put the pendant up for raffle - you can join in by clicking here: Just Giving Page. Thursday, April 19, 2012.

Dawn Turner: July 2012
http://dawnturner.blogspot.com/2012_07_01_archive.html
Tuesday, 17 July 2012. I've had a few sleepless nights lately, and yesterday I nearly wore a whole through the carpet in anticipation, although we were thwarted by the weather. All in the name of intalling the Olympic Legacy Wall at Kirk Hallam (KHCTSC). Today, the weather was a little kinder, and the rain held off. A few hairy moments when it was being lifted onto it's brackets, as it's so heavy, it's there, and I think it looks rather good! The Olmypic Legacy Wall. Tuesday, July 17, 2012. Crashing (Not...

Friday, 22 June 2012. More on the Legacy Wall. Been a while since I posted about this.it's a faily slow process really, as it is a matter of juggling days that the school were available, lots of patience waiting for clay to dry, and then kilns to fire and cool down again. This amount of tiles took several firings! We used a heavily grogged terracotta clay from Valentines Clays. In Stoke (where else? This clay, as well as being strong, has loads of texture to add interest, and is forgiving to work with!

Dawn Turner: May 2013
http://dawnturner.blogspot.com/2013_05_01_archive.html
Friday, 10 May 2013. A New Way of Looking at Glass. Last autumn, I got accepted on to the AA2A Scheme. At the University of Derby. It's a residency programme, offered to several practising artists/makers over a range of educational establishments. It's intended to help take time develop ideas and to offer the opportunity to use facilities we might not usually get access to. Copper wire and glass photogram. Remembering that this is photographic paper usually used with a negative - so the dark bits are whe...

Dawn Turner: Metal Ages.... and it has been ages!!
http://dawnturner.blogspot.com/2013/06/metal-ages-and-it-has-been-ages.html
Wednesday, 19 June 2013. Metal Ages. and it has been ages! If there's an award for bad blogger of the year, I think I would certainly be in the running! There's been so much going off. In March, Gavin and myself did some workshops in schools - this produced some fantastic work, including glass, metal embossing and casting - hopefully I can show you some of the work at a later point. Who cares about chronological order? I think it looks amazing. I love the combination of new glass and old metal. I...Label...

Wednesday, 30 May 2012. Derbyshire Open Arts Weekend. Starting to look a bit tidier now down at Shed 2 Studios, in readiness for opening our doors this weekend.

Dawn Turner: February 2013
http://dawnturner.blogspot.com/2013_02_01_archive.html
Monday, 18 February 2013. Those of you who know me personally will know that there's been quite a lot of stuff going on in my personal life lately (that may be a bit of an understatement), which has prevented me from spending much time in the studio or on projects. But, as the Metal Age project is on a deadline, I've had to pick up the ball again get stuck in. Something fascinated me about the chains and hooks that we found lying in trolleys around the place. Not sure this conveys the sheer scale of ...
