Abstract / Summary:	Exhibition of large oven gloves for this exhibition. 4000-year-old gabbroic clay shards were thin sectioned, mounted in resin and scanned at the highest magnification. At the heart of this particular investigation is a machine owned by Exeter and Cambourne school of Mines - Qemscan, a sophisticated machine providing automated mineralogy and petrography. This scan gave me data on the clay formulation as well as vibrant imagery. After establishing the colourways I transferred the information in SMARTPRINT software and digitally printed onto fabric. I then created a large paper pattern for the oven gloves, an exact 4x replica, cut them out, tacked them and machine stitched them.
