What you'll do
If you're looking for ways to get in touch with your creative side, learn something new and have fun along the way, this clay sculpting class in Sheffield is a brilliant way to pick up some traditional sculpting skills as you make your own clay figurine.
In pre-historic times people made figurines together in groups. This workshop gives you the opportunity to make your own figurine, as well as sharing ideas and experiences with each other.
Based in an old cutlery factory in Sheffield, you'll be hosted at your teacher's light, airy studio space, where you'll view some examples of her work, as well as plenty of printed images for inspiration. Mary will demonstrate techniques to help you to achieve a figurine structure which you can build on and make your own. These techniques will include slab building, coiling and pinching. There should also be time to do some simple decorating with imprints and slip.
Everything you need will be provided, so all you need to do is show up and be ready to get creative with clay. Once you have finished your figure Mary will fire the piece and you will be able to pick it up from her studio within two weeks.
If you have some experience building with clay and would like to make a larger figure over two days check out this course by Mary Sewell.

Your teacher
Mary has been a practising artist for over 25 years, has worked in many educational contexts, and has travelled wide and far.
She remembers having walked amongst the tomb raided sites of Siwa, an urban oasis in Egypt within the Great Sand Sea, picking up remains of funereal wrappings and holding small pieces of the past in her hands. Climbing into the Bhimbetka caves in Madhya Pradesh, she saw some of the oldest cave paintings, made from prehistoric dyes and pigments. From the ancient site of Giza to the beautiful natural forms of the termite structures found in Somalia. The colours and textures of these places, often in and around the desert and rooted in the earth, have stayed with her and found a lasting resonance within her work.
She currently works from her studio at Portland Works providing ceramic workshops for small groups. This old cutlery complex is a wonderful building steeped in history and a fabulous place to work in.
