After a successful year of exploring clay, creativity, location and community; Rachel is planning to re-run her CRG curriculum with a new group of clay enthusiasts. This is an intensive year long programme that consist of 4 terms that are each 10 weeks long, with an idea to nurture a new group dynamic throughout the year that attempts to provide a more structured approach to material enquiry and explores making ceramics in greater depth. The 2025 Clay Research Programme will explore making from a perspective of material investigation. Together we will gather and make materials, share test results, discuss ideas and create new work. Each term will involve making materials as a group, demonstrations, exercises, field trips, alongside your own avenue of making and testing where Rachel will be on hand to provide guidance and 1-to-1 feedback. You may prefer to work as an individual, or to develop a project collaboratively with other members of the group, but fundamentality these sessions are for creative exploration and experimentation. To make this programme as accessible as possible we have decided to split payments across each term, so if you wish to attend the full year you simply need to sign up to the first term. Existing students will be given first option to join the next term, before we open it out to the general public. Thursday Mornings, 10:00am-1:00pm
