Ceramic Plasticity

Reflecting the resurgence of craft and skills-based making in art over the past decade, this one-day symposium explores common ground between contemporary art and studio ceramics. Emphasising the commonalities between artist and craftsperson, the event focuses on practical, theoretical, and professional aspects of working with clay, embodied in its malleability and resistance - its plasticity.

Evening with Akiko Hirai

Spend an evening at Middleport and during the course of the evening Akiko will demonstrate the making process behind some of her larger and most well-known work. She will describe her process and answer questions.

Japanese born Akiko studied ceramics at the University of Westminster and then Central St Martins. She continues to work in London. Her work focuses on practical ware, from large moon jars to smaller tableware, using the Japanese tradition of allowing the clay to show how it wants to be fired. Akiko’s work explores the interaction between the object and the viewer.
