"Impressions in Clay" at Darnford Brook - FULLY BOOKED!
Wednesday 7 October, meet at Mayfair at 9.30am, back by 2.30pm
with a follow up workshop at Mayfair on Friday 23 October, 2pm - 4pm
£15/person covers both dates and pub lunch
Throughout the “Impressions in Clay” project, we’ll be accompanied by Joe Penfold (Shropshire Hills National Landscape’s Engagement Ranger) and Roz Donati, a friendly local artist who has led many nature-inspired craft projects.
The outing – on Wednesday 7 October – is to Darnford Brook, which lies in the valley between the Long Mynd and the Stiperstones ridge. We’ll take a gentle stroll along the All Ability Trail there to gather inspiration and collect natural materials for a piece you’ll be making in clay at the youth hostel nearby. We’ve arranged a buffet lunch (included in the price) at The Bridges Inn before we make our way home.
Roz will take the pieces away to fire them, ready for the workshop on Friday 23 October in the art room at Mayfair. You’ll spend a relaxing afternoon experimenting with glazes to create something which is truly your own.
With thanks to Shropshire Hills National Landscape and Scrappies’ Supporting Creative Arts scheme for their kind support of this project.
