Join Katie for fun, creative, and accessible Clay Club sessions. Whether you’re new to crafting or have a passion for ceramics, this is the perfect chance to relax, sculpt, and make something wonderful.
Taking place on the following dates and locations:
Saturday 11 July: 11am – 12:30pm at Trinity Methodist Church, Kirkby
Led by professional artist, Katie Rayson, you’ll be sure to learn something interesting; crafting with nature or crafting from pop culture references.
You’ll be using air-dry clay, so you can easily take your small creations home with you on the day! No experience required and all materials provided.
IMPORTANT: This session is aimed at ages 9-12yrs but all are welcome to have fun! Anyone under the age of 9 must be accompanied by an adult for the entire duration of the session.
Katie Rayson is from the Forest of Bowland and is currently based in Nottingham, where she completed her Fine Art BA (Hons) degree. The key motifs for her greenware slab sculptures are natural recurring patterns, such as waves, explosions, and branching. Her current project is about circular walks in local parks in Nottingham, for example Victoria Park, and the Arboretum. Inspired by theories of psychogeography, “the effect of a geographical location on the emotions and behaviour of individuals.” (Tate Terms, 2023.), she encourages the exploration of natural spaces that combat the climate crisis (e.g., peatland) and improve mental health. Her recent exhibitions include ‘Fruit Baskets’ at Fishergate Point (Nottingham, October and November 2023) and ‘The Break’ at Twitchel Gallery (Nottingham Trent University, March 2023).
