​PAPER CLAY PLUS TOURING EXHIBITION

An Exhibition coincided with the publication of, and featured work by some of the makers from, the book Paper Clay and Other Additives by Anne lightwood (Crowood Press, July 2000). 

The book explores ideas and approaches to the medium, discovering why makers use paper clay in a particular way, as well as how they use it. It clearly shows the range and diversity of work being produced around the world using paper clay and it was important that this was also reflected by the exhibition. 

Twenty-six makers agreed to take part in Paper Clay Plus; 

Roy Ashmore (Sutton Coldfield), Felicity Aylieff (Bath), Hannah Ayre (Edinburgh), Claire Brown (Huddersfield), Liz Cave (Gloucester), Sara Challinor (Dorking, Surrey), Shirley Eccles (Newbury, Berkshire), Carol Farrow (London & France), Lorraine Fernie (London), Tony Franks (Edinburgh), Fred Gatley (London), lotte Glob (Durness, Sutherland), lan Gregory (Dorchester, Dorset), Susan Halls (Connecticut, USA), Graham Hay (Perth, Australia), Brendan Hesmondhaigh (Huddersfield), Anne Lightwood (St Andrews), Polly Macpherson (Exeter), Angela Mellor (Booragoon, Western Australia), Frederick Payne (Frome Somerset), Suzhanna Perryman (Selborne. Hampshire), Claire Redwood (Bristol), Lizzie Rice (Surbiton, Surrey), Paul Scott (Wigton, Cumbria), Helen Smith (Cheltenham), Hazel Thomson (Solihull).

This website was first created to share information on paper clay, as it was not widely available.  This was before textbooks and when there were only a few scattered journal articles.  It grew into the documentation of art projects and listing of upcoming learning opportunities.   It is a symbolic “thank you” to the many thousands who participated in events I led, who shared so generously their techniques and personal stories.  This enriched both myself and ultimately my future students.  Ultimately it is a gift to the next generation of potters, artists and art students.  I hope it inspires you, informs you and provides an example of the sort of creative journey you have or are about to begin. Enjoy your travels!  Cheers! Graham
