Wild clay workshops // with Jessy Harper Solomon // Wormwood Scrubs

Run by Jessy Solomon and Mattie O’Callaghan, we will be exploring our relation to clay and landscape through walking, foraging, writing and making. You will be guided through the processes of creating ceramic, learning ways to sustainably harvest local clay, processes and mix clay bodies and create pieces using hand building techniques. 

Through the workshop we will be going in depth into soil and clay, regenerative practices, and how we collectively make and look after our ecologies, exploring the relationship between ourselves, bodies and our landscapes. Beginning at Wormwood Scrubs, we will be exploring the layers of history found in these places, how can we remember what lies buried beneath and find new ways of making and healing together?

Upcoming workshop 20 August 2023, Staffordshire Street Studios, as part of LOOP, Regenerative Materials Programme, funded by Arts Council England
