Deconstructed Decals


I have been stressing about what sort of work to put in the exhibition I have entered for April. I have wanted to do some decoration with decals for a while (decals are printed images you apply over the top of a glazed piece, it is then fired on and becomes permanent). Most commercially available decals are of the old country roses type and can look a bit twee. My challenge is to apply them in a fresher way and make it more appealing to a younger generation. I think the cup in the middle (where I have chopped up the decals) is on its way towards this. I have made some small bowls and beakers and will be experimenting more with this idea in the next few weeks. Lets hope I am happy enough with them as they will be all I have to exhibit - no time to come up with anything else.
