I was invited by the RIOT SOUP team to lead another clay workshop at The Other Art Fair at the Truman Brewery, London. It followed a similar premise to the Twilight Lates session with references available for inspiration and ideas. 

The workshop was a beginner friendly involving hand-building with airdry clay, with all materials provided. Participant ages ranged from 8-50+.

The session involved making small clay sculptures that represent our own personal symbols and motifs, inspired by a pendant that my Nan gifted me when I was born which I wear every day. I like to think that it protects me and keeps me connected to her, and I encouraged participants to think of their own similar associations. I also shared examples I’ve made over the years and some of my favourite studio books, including Elizabeth Catlett and Belkis Ayon.

The workshop was a beginner friendly involving hand-building with airdry clay, with all materials provided. I had around 24 participants for this session which was an incredible turnout!

The evening was curated by Aarony Bailey in collaboration with Dazed for our group show 'Subvert Your Gaze to Meet Mine' at Twilight Contemporary.

Lalah and I led a blended visual art and poetry workshop, encouraging creative connection, joy and self-expression at Doña.

I guided the group through a series of drawing exercises to relax into the space and get to know each other. Lalah provided poetry prompts to think about our personal interpretations of 'paradise', taking inspiration from Roger Robinson's 'A Portable Paradise' and the book 'Home is Not a Place'. The group combined elements from both to create acrostic poems and shared them with each other.

This was followed by a supportive Open Mic, where attendees could share work from the session or their own personal work. We ended with a powerful, honest and funny set from Tasneim Zyada.

Taking inspiration from notes that have steered my path and process in the last few years, I led a small group of women through a series of drawing activities before moving on to building small handheld sculptures.

My aim was to build a space for free exploration and creative play, to nurture and nourish community. I also provided homemade vegan snacks for the group.
