As part of Westminster’s Black History Year Programme, this series of six hands-on workshops invites up to 12 participants to explore important conversations about race, racism and ideological whiteness through the creative process of working with porcelain.
This event is open to everyone, regardless of experience or background. Please note you will need to attend all sessions, so only sign up if you are able to.
About this event
Together, we will create simple porcelain pinch pots (small clay vessels shaped by hand), using the act of making as a starting point for shared conversations. This is a space for open, respectful dialogue – what some call a ‘brave space’ – where we learn from one another.
Victoria will facilitate the workshops but won’t lead the conversation. Instead, the focus is on co-learning and co-creating together. A commitment to attending the six sessions is required when signing up, so that we can develop trust as a group.
We will start the course by establishing the ground rules of ‘brave’ space participation and agreeing on what we would like to discuss in the sessions. Over the subsequent sessions, we will combine making activities with discussion and reflection.
