CLAY HAND-BUILDING, SOUNDING AND LISTENING WORKSHOP with Slippery Silt (Kate Hill and Ben Woods)

WHERE
Ceramics hand-building studio, School of Art and Design, ANU, ACTON Canberra on Ngunnawal Ngambri country.

DATE
Friday 17th April, 2-5pm + Saturday 18th April, 9am-3pm.

DETAILS
Please join in and participate in a collaborative forming process, working with clay hand-building processes to build large-scale sculptures with inner walls, compartments and tunnels. These spaces and structures will be guided by the use of microphones and recording devices to listen to the channeling of air, breath and percussive touch. The collective making, sounding and listening will be accompanied by group readings related to weathering, the collective activity of ants, and more. Possible outcomes include collectively devised sections of unglazed low-fired ceramics, drawing/writings, sound recordings, hand building skills and forming practices.

REGISTER
Free workshop, join all or in part, register at the link in my bio. Please register by end of Tuesday 14th April.

Supported by an ANU strategic research seed grant.

Busy week at Berninneit in Millowl starting work on ‘Sound score for the sandy ghost shrimp’ July 18-Aug 30 and finishing with a workshop. Big thanks to Rosemary Forde @artholdsahighplaceinmylife
