Modern Clay: Collaborative Sculpture
Tickets: £21
This workshop is inspired by the exhibition, Takuro Kuwata, Tea Bowl Punk.
The workshop takes place 11am - 3pm.
In this day-long workshop, you are invited to explore working at scale.
Taking inspiration from Takuro Kuwata’s large sculptural forms and working in groups, you will learn how large clay sculptures are formed. Together, we will experiment with the limits of the material and learn coil building techniques.
This is an experiential and exploratory workshop and the sculpture will eventually be recycled.
