RA Summer Exhibition 2021 We are over the moon that two of our members Paul Brooker @gritobjects and Adi Avidani @adi_avidani_ceramics are exhibiting work in this years RA Summer Exhibition. An immense achievement for both artists, 👏 Paul & Adi #rasummerexhibition2021 #rasummerexhibition #congratulations #roundofclaps Xenia’s matchsticks RA Summer Exhibition 2020 #throwbackthursday Studio Pottery London is looking back on previous member achievements, Xenia Busalova’s porcelain matchsticks (@xeniabusalovastudio) were exhibited in the RA's Winter Exhibition 2020. ‘One Day - One Match’, 2020. Porcelain. Every night, when the day is gone, Xenia makes one matchstick from porcelain. Her daily ritual and commitment to practice, represents the irreversibility of time in physical matter, signalled in the every day she lives; “ ..every day is closer to the last, and almost everything - fears, failures, expectations, etc - falls away in the face of finitude, leaving only what is important.” #throwbackthursday #rawinterexhibition2020 #rawinterexhibition #rasummerexhibition

Five day throwing retreat this November with @cowdrayestate 🍁 Please message us your interest. 🍵 Teacher Celia Dowson, specialises in making both ceramic and cast glass and adapts traditional throwing and casting techniques to develop unique surface qualities within her work. Informed by the movement and flux in nature, the colours and changing light of the sky, Celia’s work ranges from the functional to the decorative and is designed to sit quietly within the home. ❤️ During this five-day retreat, students will learn to prepare clay using the art of spiral wedging along with the ways of throwing three principal shapes: The Cylinder: a foundation for making a mug or a vase. The Bowl: be it a broad shallow form or a classic noodle bowl. The Plate: thrown firstly with a fist, your confidence will enable you to open up and draw the form out evenly. The aim of these masterclasses is to learn to throw in a dynamic and energetic way using your core strength. Celia teaches the master of immersive, meditative throwing, so that the body is in tune with the process. Students are encouraged to feel relaxed on the wheel and grow in confidence throughout the retreat. Level: Beginner to Intermediate Date: Monday 15th – Friday 19th November Location: The Studio at The Walled Garden PRICE: £1,150 (INCLUDES ALL TUITION, REFRESHMENTS AND LUNCH) SIGN UP marketing@cowdray.co.uk Why not stay on site. Located just minutes away from The Studio are four self-catering holiday cottages and Bed and Breakfast accommodation. Email stay@cowdray.co.uk to find out more about availability.

@niomismart being tutored by our Artist Director @gregorytingay on the wheel. ❤️ SHORT COURSE - 5 weeks The aim of this course is to ground students in the challenging and rewarding skills of centring and throwing simple vessels in clay on the wheel. By the end of the course students should have finished and glazed a small, selected collection of cylinders, mugs and bowls. Students can choose from a selected range of our studio glazes and the pots will be fired for later collection. Students will be given a notebook and are encouraged to make notes and sketches each class. A date stamp will assist the teacher in monitoring their progress. MASTERING THE PROCESS: CENTRING & THROWING A CYLINDER Students will start by preparing the clay through wedging, removing air bubbles and making same- weight balls of clay. CENTRING is a crucial skill. This involves using the momentum of the wheel and balanced pressure in the hands of the student to centre the ball of clay. This is a challenge, but a rewarding one. The student learns how to coordinate body and wheel, learning basic physical principles, as well as activating core strength and determination. Having centred their ball of clay, the student will learn the skill of THROWING: pulling up clay in the walls to shape a simple vertical-sided cylinder. This is the primary form from which so many other forms are derived. PROCESS will be the initial focus during Week One with cylinders being cross-sectioned with a wire to observe the thickness of walls and the progress being made in the pulling up of the walls. Sentimentality over ‘my first pot’ will be replaced by wonder and pride in seeing progress in mastery of the process. Pots will be recycled. TURNING, GLAZING and FIRING finalises the course ❤️

New addition to our members SHOP; for sale via the website - Max is an architect and potter from South west London. Max has been making ceramics for 8 years and joined Studio Pottery London as a member earlier this year. His work concentrates on contemporary interpretations of traditional forms. Max’s work is thrown, and driven by how it functions, for example how a flared or collared neck makes a vase easier to hold in your hand. He uses simple glazes, with a focus on the way they are applied and combined with slips and stains in order to vary the appearance of his work and bring out a range of different tones from the clay body. Max’s work will also be on show at our outdoor fair on the 18/19th Sept. @max.breese
