Poetic Pottery - Clay Workshop


  • St. Margaret's House 21 Old Ford Road London, England, E2 9PL United Kingdom (map)

An exploration of words and their physical forms through clay and word printing with Pause collective

Participants will create a piece with clay - anything they want - with the intention of printing words into it that they feel are significant. The first step will involve cutting up words from newspaper and magazines, collaborating with others to build a collage of words as a piece of group poetry. Then participants will choose a phrase or sentence - quote, lyric etc to print into their clay piece - something for themselves or as a gift to another. This workshop is an intimate space for you to come together with like-minded people and explore how creativity can lead you to an improved sense of wellbeing.
