About this event
A free Mudbelly Ceramics workshop for Black people to explore the therapeutic power of clay, led by artist Phoebe Collings-James.
About this Event
Join us for a hands-on Mudbelly Ceramics workshop for Black people, led by artist Phoebe Collings-James and inspired by Spike Island exhibiting artist Beverly Buchanan's angels.
Buchanan frequently drew and constructed paper angels during her years in Athens, Georgia. Navigating chronic illness and disability, she turned to these figures both as a comforting ritual and as a way to forge connections with her community. Rather than keeping the angel drawings solely as private totems, Buchanan made prints of her original drawings into a proliferation of cut-outs and postcards, including her famous Hospital Gown Angel.
Reflecting on the series of angel works created by Buchanan, participants will explore themes of personal protection and spiritual resilience, using clay and hand building techniques to sculpt their own angels.
