Upstart at V&A Wedgwood Collection - Clay Careers Workshop
Join ceramic artist Alice Thatcher at V&A Wedgewood for a tile making workshop.
During this workshop, Alice Thatcher will share the possibilities of working with recycled clay through tile making.
Participants will learn the process of recycling clay before rolling, cutting and decorating their own tile inspired by designs in the V&A Wedgwood Collection. The finished pieces will appear in the galleries for a temporary display.
This event is free, drop in any time between 11.00 - 12.30 and/or 14.00 - 15.30
This event is part of the V&A’s 2025 Upstart Creative Careers Festival.
