Wild Clay Workshops - 07/09/25

What to expect:

Explore and develop the art of hand-building with locally sourced clay, making simple pinch pots to form objects inspired by the natural surroundings of the Sussex countryside. Join me on a 3 hour workshop in the Gun Brewery Taproom where we will discuss the process of gathering and testing found clay. We will the use fly from 3 different sites around Chiddingly to form pinch pots, condiment bowls and cane toppers to use in your home or garden. I will guide you step-by-step through the process, and we will finish with some simple decorating techniques. Let your imagination go wild or take inspiration from my designs! The pieces will be fired and ready for collection in a couple ion weeks time. 12 - 4 pm "Lorraine's work encompasses a soft natural palette mixing traditional stoneware with home dug, iron-rich Sussex clay to create texture and patina on ceramic forms, slips, and glazes"
