Taking the festival theme Thinking in Circles as a starting point this exhibition brings together ceramic creations from over 30 of the extended community clay family. Pupils from East Coker, West Coker and Perrott Hill Schools are joined by Community Clay’s regular Thursday Night Potters, showing work that explores ideas of growth, production and consumption.
ABOUT THE PROJECT
Community Clay (originally Lockdown Pottery) was established in 2020, by Chantelle Henocq and Simon Lee Dicker, exploring ceramics, and the multitude of ways that working with clay in a shared social space can improve the life of those that take part. From alleviating isolation and creating lasting friendships that develop in the studio, to learning new skills, increasing confidence they have worked with participants from 5 to 80 years old, learning about life through making with clay.
