Join artist Kay Aplin for a special ceramics masterclass. Learn some of Kay’s techniques looking at natural forms on a microscopic level to inspire and inform beautiful relief tiles.
Zoom in on natural forms with a powerful microscope to select imagery and create terracotta tiles with ornate patterns and designs.
Kay Aplin is an architectural ceramist, creating site-specific commissions for the public realm and large-scale tiled installations for exhibitions. Her work responds to place and her process often involves using a microscope to magnify hidden forms in nature. Exhibitions include Kogei Triennial Kanazawa, Japan, European Ceramic Context, Denmark, British Ceramics Biennial and Collect, Saatchi Gallery, London.
Produced by artist-curators Kay Aplin and Joseph Young of The Ceramic House, Edges is a ceramics and sound art collaborative project involving artists from three nations at the western and eastern edges of Europe.
Edges will develop ideas of exchange, what it means to work at the edge of something, to be on the fringes. ‘Edges’ also expands on positive concepts of materiality, understanding artistic practice as a so-called ‘cutting edge’, where boundaries are pushed back, and frontiers explored.
As an artist couple / collaborative partnership, Kay and Joseph were Artists’ in Residence at Watts Gallery - Artists’ Village in 2023 where they explored the legacy of G F and Mary Watts as well as the ceramic tradition of Compton Pottery through a number of different artistic strategies. Their base at The Ceramic House also provided an analogy to Limnerslease with their pop-up gallery, events and performances programme and artistic residency programme set within a unique artist’s home.
