Explore the varied textures and materiality of clay and craft a personlised mosaic tile in this 2.5 hour workshop.
Ceramics are utilised regularly in daily life, yet the full diversity of this form is rarely experienced. Join ceramicist Senali Cooray (Ivy Ceramics), for a two and half hour exploring clay’s varied forms: liquid, pliable, dry, brittle, crumbling, or dense, discover how it can hold a memory of the hands or the tools that formed it.
Clay and cement imprints feature in several of Geoffrey Bawa’s properties, including leaf imprinted tables at both Number 11 and Lunuganga.Participants are requested to bring items such as leaves, seeds, coins, or small items that hold personal meaning to imprint in the clay. Finished tiles will be glazed and fired and available for collection from the Ivy Ceramic Studio or the Geoffrey Bawa Trust.
Senali Cooray transitioned into ceramics after studying and working in interior design. Her work is known for pushing the sculptural boundaries of ceramics, using its form and materiality to reflect the human experience and explore themes of childhood, memory, culture, and religion as a social construct.
