"Hand-building Vases and Plant Pots with Keryn Levy

This hand-building workshop is suitable for all skill levels - from complete beginners to makers seeking to add to their existing skill-set.

Under Kerryn's guidance participants will have the opportunity to work with two different clays, learning how to use the coiling method to build a beautiful vase and/or plant pot. As a beginner you will learn the basics of hand-building in this session. If you have previous experience, you can take the opportunity to up-scale or focus on a more complex asymmetrical form.

All items will be fired and glazed for you in the weeks following the workshop and available for pickup from EST Studio.

Included in workshop:

- Glass of wine

- Dried florals for vase / small plant for your pot

About Kerryn:

I make to connect.

My aim as an artist and maker is to bring people together through a shared love of clay, landscape and beautiful objects.

Through the production of beautiful, tactile, everyday objects I can form relationships with people, connect people with objects, objects with place, and place with people.

Using traditional ceramic processes of wheel-throwing, hand-building and illustration, I create objects that remember my touch and long to be held.

Patterns form naturally on the surface of the clay, created by finger marks and traces of the making process, providing a visible representation of the relationship between body and earth. These objects have an inherent connection to the human body that formed them, and the landscape whence they came.

I am particularly influenced by the natural environment, the Australian landscape and human interaction with, and within it.
