This session is guided by contemporary artist and founder of Dalston Clay Barnaby Hosking whose primary medium is paper clay; a relatively recent ceramic medium that opens up a whole new world of possibilities in clay construction and form far beyond the limitations of regular clay: Force dry, add wet to dry, break apart, rebuild, carve and sand, build higher, thicker, stronger and lighter!
