*helbak-scherning*

last night we got a preview of our 3rd and last apartment we'll be staying in. we are definitely a bit sad to leave the place we're in now. the apartment now feels like home to us, and we really love this neighborhood. but, we will quickly adjust to life in "østerbronx," as ulrik calls his neighborhood.


today i worked in a different studio, in downtown cph, called helbak-scherning (www.helbak-scherning.dk/02.html). anna helped me arrange it so i could experience a different studio. it's run by 2 women, mette & melana. they are both so sweet, and working mom's. very inspiring. here's mette:

i worked with mette on her jewelry. basically, she uses cookie-cutters to create different sized disks, and then uses decals to apply her designs onto the ceramics. that was my job today, applying the decals. the yellow part of the decals burn off in the kiln so that just the design sticks on. it's tedious, but fun to be in a studio & see how things are made. tomorrow i'll be working with her on glazing. here are a few photos of the work i did today...




finished products look like this:

i think i may help her translate it to english.
