Become a FriendPlants, Porcelain, People
Katie Spragg
TUESDAY 18 MAY – SATURDAY 12 JUNE
Plants, Porcelain, People is an exciting new collaborative installation made by ceramicist, Katie Spragg in response to and in partnership with a group of young refugees, through the Norwich based charity, Norwich International Youth Project.
Between February and March 2021 and in line with Government guidelines on social distancing, Katie undertook a series of clay workshops with young refugees and asylum seekers over Zoom, taking as inspiration the ways in which plants play a part in our lives. Exploring ideas of plants for food, healing and enjoyment, the young people have learnt with Katie how to express themselves, by creating sculptural objects in clay.
Following the workshops, the project included a period of making for Katie to realise a commission that will be installed for all to enjoy in Norwich during the Festival.
The work will embrace ideas around the medieval plantsman’s garden at St Peter Hungate and will bring the garden into the church in porcelain and other types of clay. The pieces made by the young workshop participants will be included and incorporated with Katie’s own work to make a thoughtful and immersive piece that fills the beautiful, light space of the decommissioned church of St Peter Hungate.
Alongside the exhibition two public Zoom workshops will be offered, one in the form of a ‘Clay Conversation’ with Caroline Fisher, open to all. The other will be a making workshop bookable here.
