St Margaret’s House is excited to announce a series of workshops and an open call for exhibiting potters, as part of the Heritage Lottery Funded ‘Scottish Lusture: Keeping the Flame Alive’ currently taking place in in conjunction with Bridge Pottery Collective.
All lustre potters who are interested are invited to take part in the exhibition that celebrates the life and work of Margery Clinton and the techniques she brought to the pottery practice, are welcome to submit their work for the exhibition- which will take place between the 11th October and 2nd of November .
Workshops- Chasing Rainbows
Additionally during the summer Bridge Pottery will hope to run 1 or 2 Lustre Pottery Weekends with practical sessions on preparing clay pastes, lustre glazes and firing the work. The workshops will also include some tutorials on mosaics and re-using glaze tests tiles.
There will be a small natural Gas kiln, a Raku kilnand Margery’s lustre kiln, which combines electricity to heat it & nitrogen to purge the air, so that a gas flame can be safely used to create lustre. Workshops will be funded by a small charge to cover costs.
