We are delighted to welcome back Lorna Fraser, renowned ceramicist. Please have a look at her website to see examples of her beautiful work. This is an intense, inspiring one-day workshop that runs from 9 till 5. Here is the description in Lorna's own words: I am an Edinburgh based artist whose porcelain work is inspired by the infinite array of forms in the botanical world. My work explores the sculptural quality of plants, responding to their structure whilst selecting favourite composite shapes in order to create ceramic “hybrids”. Current work investigates the magical world of tiny mosses and lichens. Using a hand lens, these often overlooked plants can be observed up close, revealing incredible shapes and structures. During a residency on the Isle of Eigg I discovered a huge variety of different species colonising just one boulder. Magnified, they offered up a miniature landscape of wonder which inspires my work. I would like to start this workshop by making a short visit to the local Monkstown Wood in Ladybank, which is a ten minute walk from the Off The Rails Arthouse (there is a car park if you prefer to drive). Using a hand lens we will discover the tiny treasures that the wood has to offer, mosses carpeting the forest floor as well as lichens colonising trees and stones. On return, I will share with you how I make my work, chat through my process and show you some of the techniques and tools I use to work in a small scale. I will support and guide you to create your own bespoke hand-built pieces using beautiful porcelain clay, inspired from the woods or your own reference material. The emphasis of this workshop is to work in a small scale, taking our time to consider the form we are constructing. This workshop is open to all levels from beginners to the more experienced. All completed work will be fired by me in my kiln and available for you to collect approximately 2 weeks after the course - either from my studio in Edinburgh or from Off The Rails Arthouse. I will supply all tools and materials, although if you have a hand lens or a magnifying glass, please bring them along. Image Title: Rising from the Cracks Credit: Shannon Tolls
