CLAY : Live Bench
About the event
Monday to Friday only
Live Bench is the space for Transforming. It is a continual production bench that will be open from the opening weekend in July and will be operational continually throughout the festival on the Factory Floor. Visitors can engage in production and transformative nature of clay by creating their own small ceramic work which will be stored and kiln fired in our Raku kiln at the last weekend of the festival in August.
The firing of all works from the Live Bench will become part of the Raku performance element of the festival.
