01 / The programme

Forms that keep changing.

Four rooms, two courtyards, and a season of work that treats clay as a record of pressure, weather, and human attention.

03 / Field notes

The archive is still warm.

Short dispatches from the kiln room, the shore, and the people making space for a slower kind of attention.

No object arrives alone.

Notes from the salt line

What a changing shoreline leaves behind, and what a vessel can carry.

Four temperatures of red

A colour study made between the raw clay store and the second firing.

The table after everyone leaves

Tools, crumbs, fingerprints. The generous evidence of a shared day.

04 / Make a visit

Come closer to the material.

Plan a quiet hour, join a live firing, or follow the programme all the way to the closing table.
