Tortoiseshell Cat

Here's a cat done just before Christmas time. Love the glaze on this one.

Codling

Calvin decided that he wanted to make a codling tonight. I managed to get some shots of it just before he put the fins on and also just as he finished it.

It'll now take three weeks to dry before it's first trip in the kiln. Then, if all goes well with the bisque firing, he's going to try and choose an appropriate glaze for the final firing.

Penguins and Westies

Calvin has started making more of his small penguins – which are proving really popular – and now a pack of miniature West Highland terriers. The dogs look really stylised and slick and will be sweet when glazed.

Welcome to Edinburgh

After trying out a new technique to get this brilliant speckled black and white glaze, the final result is fantastic. Titled Edinburgh's Panda, Calvin has shown the two main cultural highlights in Edinburgh – the pandas at Edinburgh zoo and Krispy Kreme!

Iceberg melts away

On a day of good news, Calvin has been comissioned to create a Scottie dog by a collector and, also, another artist visited The Gallery on the Corner last week and bought Calvin's Iceberg and Penguins. Great stuff!

Sculpting accurate toy characters

Calvin, having watched a brilliant movie on toy sculpting the night before, is trying accurate character modelling for the first time. Here is his Hulk head which, he said, will be followed by more.

Half way through Calvin's exhibition

It's not too late to drop in and see Calvin's work at the Gallery on the Corner in Dundas Street. Have a wander in and look at his and other cool artists work too.
