County Hall Pottery Masterclass

17 | 06 | 2025

As part of Groundworks at County Hall Pottery, an exhibition curated by Elena of Glost Glaze, Golden Earth Studio was invited to lead a masterclass delving into the creative and material potential of local clays.

Rooted in our ongoing dialogue with construction waste, the session opened with a conversation around material origin, value, and the complexities of working at the intersection of art and industry. Participants were invited to engage with these tensions through hands-on exploration, developing a series of clay bodies, slips, glazes, and engobes, all sourced from a single reclaimed waste stream. What emerged was a shared database of knowledge that not only mapped process and possibility, but also equipped each maker to reimagine construction clay within the contours of their own practice.
