Sunroom | Paper Clay Vessels
Sunroom | Paper Clay VesselsInspired by the paper clay and ceramic works exhibited as part of the exhibition SURGE on Level 5 at HOTA Gallery, we’ll be creating our own unique, paper clay vessels to take home. Playful, experimental approaches to handling the material, including layering, imprinting and shaping the paper clay will be explored. The Sunroom program provides a safe creative space for art making creative play and exploration for adults who identify with disability. We believe in the social model of disability - that is, disability is the result of the interaction between people living with impairments and an environment filled with physical, attitudinal, communication and social barriers. (Sourced from PWD) No prior art making experience is necessary, only a willingness to engage your imagination, curiosity and sense of play.Recommended ages 16+
