Create your own subversive figure in clay!
The cost is £120 per person to include everything.
Jemma Gowland’s work explores the way that girls are constrained from birth to conform to an appearance and code of behaviour, to present a perfect face, and maintain the expectations of others.
“From the moment we are born, gender affects our future, and upbringing influences our adult life…Stand up straight, smile nicely, say please.”
Jemma first trained for a BSc in Engineering Product Design, and worked in the fields of industrial design, production, and architectural model making before becoming a teacher of Design and Technology. With experience in making & using a very broad range of materials, for a wide range of purposes, ceramics has become the abiding interest with its unique versatility and surface possibilities, the technical challenges and opportunities seem endless. This interest led first to making ceramic birds and animals, several short courses, and a residency. This was followed by taking the City Lit Ceramics Diploma, graduating in 2019, resulting in the current body of work.
In this workshop you will work with our in - house buff clay to create a figure using an armature and press moulds.
Suitable for all beginners and intermediate.
Includes all materials and bisque firing.
Our studio is on the first floor accessible via stairs (no lift).
