Kaleido Artists
15 Days in Clay
Over the last three years it has provided new opportunities for self-expression, confidence building, and personal growth, through the accessible medium of clay. Free taster sessions are offered at the start of the project to make sure this is something each individual wishes to access. Each person attending this project is encouraged to make their own decisions about what they want to make. Individuals are actively encouraged to explore all methods of construction and decorating processes. Through taking part in this unique project they find their practical knowledge of ceramics and creative skills have grown from strength to strength, many are now on their way to becoming artists in their own right. Everyone has continued to develop their own work and at the same time have produced a range of work on the theme of ships, boats,and clocks which has become our trademark. Two of the artists on the project has successfully gained a grant from the Arts Council to put on their first solo show. We have visited the RNLI and SunSeekers Poole kindly invited us to the Southampton Boat Show to further research our theme with great results. The work produced by the artists on this project represents much hard work and inspiration, it tells wonderful stories of tremendous progress and discovery. Above all it demonstrates what can be achieved when people are enabled to exceed the expectations of those around them.
