Britain's What's On Event Guide
Bucks Pottery & Sculpture Society talk
This month's meeting of the Bucks Pottery and Sculpture Society will include a talk and demonstration by Hertfordshire based ceramicist Elly Wall. Elly's work is handbuilt using slabs of clay with slips and textural marks and impressions applied during the making process. She likes to work in a variety of clays and is interested in how these clays transfer their unique qualities and characteristics to the work, allowing her to create groups and families of vessels building a narrative between themselves.
While work has evolved to be influenced by the material itself, in the background is a continuing fascination with empty and forgotten old public buildings and structures. The physical and historical layers of these spaces become empty vessels. In her work Elly explores this form, looking at the expectations and boundaries of function and aesthetics.
The meeting will be held at Little Kingshill Village Hall (HP16 0DZ) on Friday 25th October from 8-10pm. Entry is free for BPSS members, £5 for visitors. For more information about the Society see www.buckspotters.com. We are also on Facebook and Instagram.
