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.

More Information

For the exhibition Takuro Kuwata, Tea Bowl Punk, our guest curators of the gallery studio are Modern Clay, an artist-led co-operative based in Digbeth, Birmingham. 

Modern Clay are offering four clay-making sessions inspired by the various ways of ceramic making displayed in Takuro Kuwata's work, and led by co-operative members.
