Scheduled dates
Ceramic has historically played an important role in landmarking important life events, it has often been used in the form of votive offerings and as an accompaniment to the afterlife.
In this workshop you will create a ceramic artwork by impressing objects such as leaves, knitted jumpers, lace curtains, stones, chains, jewellery etc. The clay can be embossed with names or phrases and decorated with coloured clay slips and could take the form of a small piece of jewellery or a larger plaque or tile.
After the workshop the ceramic will be dried and fired in a kiln to produce a lasting memento.
This free event is suitable for all members of the public age 12 and over. Children 16 and under must be accomapnied by an adult. The subject of myth and how historically people create rituals of loss are covered as points of information and inspiration.
This event is part the Myth, Magic and Markings series led by University of Wolverhampton.
