Bevis Martin & Charlie Youle's fascinating works

2011-03-15T12:15:00.001Z

Bevis and Charlie his partner who live in Nantes and work collaboratively( martinandyoule.com).
The pumpkin filled their small kiln! the fruits are scaled according to the relative size of the planets. The veg. are like the stages of development of a foetus.

Planet Fruits

Bevis came to family workshops many years ago so maybe we can claim to have sown some small seeds for these..

Casein for finishing fired terracotta and plaster.

Casein can be used to give sculptures an extremely attractive finish. The casein is deposited by steeping the finished sculpture or cast in skimmed milk.
Only skimmed milk can be used for the process.
The sculpture must be steeped in the skimmed milk for some time so that the casein deposits on the surface of the cast.
To avoid using a large quantity of skimmed milk it is good idea to put the object first in a plastic bag, and then fill the bag with milk. After an hour or so the cast is removed and allowed to dry completely. Finishing works with casein is a traditional method although little used today the final polish can be achieved by rubbing French chalk into the surface to give a higher lustre. Casein finished plaster, it has been said, resembles bone. It is well worth trying this finish on some of your work. In this case the Skimmed milk has been applied by brush to buff/white fired terracotta clay.

Other info
Casein is the main protein in milk. When removed from milk as a curd, it is widely used in manufacturing as well as in food products such as cheese. Skimmed milk curdled with hydrochloric or sulphuric acid produces “acid" casein than becomes a colloid with excellent binding properties when it is dissolved in water containing an alkali and then dried. Mixed with lime or formaldehyde, it is used to make water-resistant glues, binders in paints, and tough, clear protective coatings for leathers, textiles, lithographic stones, and paper.

Rennet-curded casein, treated with formaldehyde, forms a plastic that is primarily used to make buttons and imitation gemstones

Essential Health & Safety - Working with Stone

2009-01-20T10:04:00.001Z

To create a safe working environment the following procedures should be followed: -
Eye Protection -wear goggles or a full-face visor. Glasses are not safe!
Foot Protection - wear suitable footwear e.g. steel toecap shoes or boots.
Dust Protection - wear a mask, visor or goggles when working and clearing up.
Spray bench tops and floor before cleaning up.
Minimise dust hazard by damping down work at regular intervals
Use the special oiled sawdust when sweeping.
Whenever possible use the industrial vacuum cleaner rather than a brush or broom.
4. Safe working practice. Learn the right techniques and processes
a) Safe grip of tool / mallet etc.
b) Safe posture
c) Safe pace
5. Safe placement. Clamp your work or steady it in a sand box or clay bag.
If your work is not steady - support it.
6. Be aware of your surroundings and the possible hazards to others
These guidelines must be followed at all times to ensure everyone’s safety in the class.
