Carolyn Genders (Potters' Day 28 Jan 2012) |
|
Saturday 28th January, 2012, 10:00am - 4:00pm, Knowl Hill Village Hall
 Our Annual Potter’s Day will feature Carolyn Genders, talking about influences and demonstrating her work.
Carolyn takes much of her inspiration for her work from the landscape where she lives; reflecting how the changing of the seasons transforms the landscape. She uses layering of slip, with scraffitto, incising and burnishing techniques to develop a surface which is highly polished. She says of her work:- “I work spontaneously, creating forms and surfaces that evoke the feeling I have when I am part of the landscape, not illustrating it but striving to convey nuance of shape, balance and mass and creating mood and atmosphere”
To purchase tickets, please contact Debbie Page on 0118 972 2812 or contact us. Tickets cost £20 for members and £25 for non-members.
Tickets include a two course lunch. Raffle tickets will be on sale
You can see more of Carolyn's work on her website: www.carolyngenders.co.uk.
