The workshop today involved making owls and night creatures on clay, painting night landscapes and finishing the map. Amazing results by the little artists and their parents!
In the afternoon participants took a board with their clay tiles on it out into the Park. They had to find something of interest to make an impression of, a leaf, some lettering or motif on a gravestone etc.
Then they came back and shape their piece of clay in the workshop space, in order that it fits into the overall shape of an angel.
Everyone did amazing prints and got a little bit wet from the summer rain!
The clay pieces will be fired and on display at the exhibition in the Stoke Newington Library in September.
Again many thanks to Abney Park Trust for their help and letting us put this on, to the wonderful volunteers Nina and Delphine, and especially to everyone who came and participated.
Keep an eye on this blog for future projects and exhibitions with the Hackney Utopians!
