About this event

  • 2 hours

This workshop is part of a project funded by Arts Network Sutton to help bring the community together to create a ceramic mural that celebrates the wonderful Yourspace garden and all that it symbolises.

This is a free session available for anyone in the community who feel they need to connect with nature in a creative, communal way and who wouldn’t otherwise consider attending a paid workshop session. No experience is necessary, you will be guided in this gentle and calm session to give yourself the time to enjoy a new skill.

In this workshop we will be exploring the beauty of nature by printing into the soft, tactile clay with materials collected from the site. We will go on a foraging walk around Seears Park to begin the session and then take our specimens back to the workshop for experimenting with.

The tiles created will form part of the Yourspace mural being created on site this year.

Hello I'm Emily a potter and basketweaver and I'm passionate about sharing my skills with you! Making with our hands is so important; it makes us feel connected and present to materials and process and unleashes the creativity I believe is in everyone. I work my little garden shed in Surrey and host workshops from various locations in and around London. Please keep a look out here and hopefully something catches your eye!

Alternatively if are interested in 1-1 or family/friend workshops then please get in touch.
