British Ceramics Biennial

I went to the British Ceramics Biennial held at the original Spode works in Stoke on Trent.

I volunteered to assist in a fantastic ceramic workshop.
The workshop consisted of slip cast teapots, spouts, knobs and handles. Each participant created a sculpture using the various parts. The parts were added in such a way to create a fairytale or dreamlike sculpture.

Some fantastic wares were created by families and adults. Well done everybody!







Here are some images of the exhibitions at the festival.

These beautiful forms appear to be made using the pinch pot method. Just love these.

These designs won first prize. Apparently one of the large vases were decorated in real gold lustre glaze.

This art installation of wonderful bricks was quite unique. Each visitor could take a brick home ! The taking of the bricks was filmed, it will be shown at the next exhibition.

Just love the way the white clay appears to be dripping upwards.
