Buildings & Rivers Ceramic Workshop

  • Cupola Contemporary Gallery Middlewood Road Sheffield, S6 United Kingdom (map)

Buildings and Rivers is a terracotta workshop with ceramic artist Krishna Alageswaran.

This is part of the city wide Sheffield Showcase festival.


At this informal session you'll build a free-standing or wall-based ceramic piece, inspired by Sheffield's buildings and rivers – all under Krishna's expert supervision. You may take your work away with you or leave it with Krishna to fire.

Krishna specialises in hand-building sculptural forms, achieving complex, textured and patterned surfaces by applying layers of slip oxides and dry glazes through multiple firings. The surfaces reference the passing of time on the human landscape.

The workshop is suitable for all ages, but children should be accompanied by an adult.

This is a messy workshop so please ensure you dress appropriately.

Workshops will run from 12pm to 4.30pm, lasting an hour and a half per session. Space will be limited to six people per session, so although booking is not essential it would help to avoid disappointment.

To book, call 0114 285 2665.
