No previous experience in working with clay is necessary

People have been depicting the human form for 30,000 years. Stone Age people across different cultures and continents modelled figures in clay or carved them in stone or mammoth tusk. Like Renee So, whose exhibition is currently at Cample, Ruth Elizabeth Jones has a longstanding fascination with Neolithic ceramics, including figurines

Taking some inspiration from the ancient figures that have long interested Ruth, as well as from the work of Renee So, Ruth help you make your own clay figure – ancient or modern!

Ruth works mainly with traditional hand building techniques to create her own vessels. In the drop-in, you will use a groggy pale clay and work with your hands. All the finished pieces will be taken away and fired in Ruth’s kiln, and then delivered back to Cample for collection once they have been fired
