Create a Clay Vessel with Jane McCulla
In this workshop, join ceramic artist Jane McCulla to create a vessel from two slabs of clay. After joining the slabs, the form will be refined in shape.
After joining the slabs, the form will be refined in shape using wooden paddle tools. The sealed form will be dried to a leather hard state, ready for carving onto the surface. The vessels will be glazed white and fired, ready for collection in approx 2 weeks after the workshop.
Ceramic artist Jane McCulla’s fascination with clay, and its ecological and archaeological connotations, is evident in the power of her sculptural work. Influenced by the great Land Artists and her own experience of remote landscapes and seascapes. Jane’s ceramic forms reflect her sensitive exploration of mankind’s mark on the landscape and his vulnerability to the whim of nature. Physical traces communicate man’s presence, but ultimately earthly cycles prevail. ‘I feel overwhelmed by the beauty, scale and miraculous intricacies of nature’, says Jane.
