Explore the tactile quality of clay in an active making workshop with sculptor and artist Sarah Christie. Working individually, and as a group, this session will delve into sculpture and mark-making in 3D, providing an opportunity to unleash your creativity while enjoying the calm and focus that simply playing with clay can offer. No prior experience, materials or special tools required.  Just bring yourself. 

Creativity for wellbeing fact:
Research has shown making and being creative strengthens the connectivity between the left and right hemisphere of the brain, boosting productivity and psychological resilience.

Make Do Play is produced by the university's culture team for the King's Cultural Community. This session is delivered by artist Sarah Christie.

 

Artist Bio

Sarah Christie is an artist and educator whose sculptural clay practice is often site-specific and ephemeral. Breakage, fracture, instability, and forces of creation, destruction and renewal are common threads in her work. Not everything becomes a finished piece of work but instead contributes to a longer process of revealing something and informing what might come next. Sarah has been Visiting Artist at Imperial College since 2015, teaching art and observation skills on the Medicine, Medical Humanities and Biomedicine programmes, and she also gives clay and drawing workshops in a variety of settings.
