This workshop invites participants to engage with clay in an open, exploratory way—free from the expectation of producing a specific outcome. As a group, attendees will explore the queer nature of clay through actions such as squishing, moulding, folding, connecting, and layering the material. The session primarily involves working with clay using hands, though participants are welcome to incorporate other parts of their body into the process if they feel comfortable. Observing without participating is also completely welcome. The atmosphere will be relaxed and informal, with tea provided. Following a short introduction, the group will spend approximately an hour working with clay on the floor. The facilitator will guide a series of exercises designed to encourage instinctive, playful engagement with the material. There is no pressure to achieve a particular result, nor to interact with the clay or group in any set way—the focus is on personal experience and enjoyment. By the end of the session, the group will have co-created a new presence in the space: a clay mass that has been collectively queered into being. The final part of the workshop will offer space for informal discussion about each participant’s experience, along with the opportunity to document the resulting clay form through quick observational drawings. Please note this workshop is only for people who identify as FLINTA (female, lesbian, intersex, nonbinary, trans and agender).  About the artist: Lauren McNicoll was born in Kent (1995) and currently based in south London. Her practice combines multiple disciplines and encompasses a space that sits between sculpture, performance, and workshop. Her research is rooted in queerness, community, and feminism, and grapples with the ways in which history and societal expectations play out in interpersonal encounters.
