It was a big turn out for the hand building with clay
session of LGT. Some women were kitted
out to really get down and get dirty adorned in full-length aprons.
Nettie has been immersed in pottery for decades and loves
experimenting with various modes of firing
- from open flame, wood firing to electric firing. Nettie and her partner, Andrea, have set up a
studio in their house for the sole purpose of creating art. How wonderful!
Nettie brought along some beautiful examples to inspire us
before we began our own creations, using this gloriously tactile clay. We created chickens, leaves, bells, pots,
miniature and large vessels all in the space of 90 minutes.
There was a beautiful energy in the room as everyone
sketched and then created something that made them happy.
Nettie advised us all to remain happily detached from our
creations as often mishaps occur in the kiln.
So we all enjoyed being in the moment, getting in touch with our inner
children and playing and creating with the clay.
