Clare Twomey + Phoebe Cummings engage with the University of Westminster community of students and staff, as well as passers-by, to teach them ceramic skills during an open access 3-day workshop event from 4th to 6th October, 10 AM to 4 PM.
The self-hardening clay material used for the event is recycled, having already been used by upwards of 500 people. Each participant will receive a free bag of clay to take away if they pledge to teach their newly acquired skills to at least 2 more people.
The Ceramics Research Centre (CRC-UK) is a leader in the debates surrounding the international contemporary ceramic practice, and critical discussion is essential to the development of the discipline. Members of the Centre are committed to exhibiting and publishing, as well as hosting and participating in conferences, symposia, and dialogues. Developing from their original focus on ceramic installation and art practice, and the interface between ceramics, performance, and museology, their interests have expanded to explore social engagement, interdisciplinary curatorial practice, and the nature of the ephemeral, through the broader context of clay within culture and society.
