So one of the artists I've decided to follow is Jim Lux. Last year, in the advanced class, we did a project called "after the masters," and I chose to emulate Jim Lux in my project. I chose to follow him because he works with coils, and he makes really awesome pots. Last year, when I chose to emulate his work in my own, was the first time I decided to work with coils, and since then I've really started to develop my own style through coils. So, I guess I chose him as one of my artists because he really set me up for what I'm becoming as an artist now. Also, I would like to experiment more with trying to sort-of combine his style with my own. I liked how it turned out the first time, so I don't see why I wouldn't try again.
i love his stuff! i like the organic shapes. and i believe he pit fires? which you should definately do for one of your planters!!!
