Community Clay at The London Clayworks

Workshop

Join us for a hands-on ceramics workshop exploring surface design inspired by textiles. Using inherited and found fabrics, including lace, embroidery, doilies, and patterned cloth, participants will create textured designs on a functional ceramic plate. We will be using glazes and underglazes. Through clay we’ll reinterpret the stories, patterns, and traditions embedded in everyday textiles to create unique, food-safe plates.

Workshop Goals

• Expand participants’ understanding of craft through ceramics and textiles.
• Encourage creative expression through personal and found textile patterns.
• Develop a unique surface design for a functional plate intended for everyday use.
• Foster community through shared making.
