15 unusual ceramic figures go on display in Dorset

By Caroline King - March 4, 2019Posted in : Art, Exhibition, FEATURED-STORIES

15 Days in Clay is a project offering adults with additional needs a chance to create work in clay. To celebrate 15 years of inspirational this project, a new exhibition of ceramic figures has gone on display in Poole.

15 Days in Clay was founded in 2003 by artist Janna Edwards to give small groups of adults with learning/additional needs the opportunity to explore their creativity in clay. Six of the nine original participants are still involved with the project and have gone on to exhibit work in their own right and accept commissions.

The latest exhibition, The Tribe, consists of 15 ceramic figures, one for every year the project has been running. Each figure is about five feet tall, and made in three sections, each worked on separately. None of the figures has a name and all of them have just one eye.

When: On until 20th April 2019
Where: Lighthouse, Poole’s Centre For The Arts, 21 Kingland Road, Poole, Dorset BH15 1UG
£: Free admission
