Create with Clay
Create with Clay
Explore the versatility of clay in a free taster workshop led by Joanna Espiner, supported by
Trinity's Heritage Conservation Project
Tuesday 6 September 2016
2 sessions available: 2pm-4.30pm or 6pm-8.30pm (evening session now full)
Inspired by the heritage and architecture of the Trinity Centre, join us to create tiles!
Clay was traditionally used in religious buildings to create elaborate patterns for floor tiles. Learn the traditional 'encaustic slip' technique with a modern thematic twist. We will develop our designs through drawing and photos of Trinity's features.
Plaster moulds were used to make ceiling and cornice decorations and plaster craftsmen used clay to create the initial models from which to make the moulds. We will create sculptural tiles by making plaster moulds to create repeated tile pieces and decorate with different colours.
For all abilities; ages 14+; Limited spaces available!
