    TIME: 7pm – 9pm

    LOCATION:  Foxlowe Arts Centre, Leek

    RESERVE YOUR SPACE: please reserve your space by emailing foxloweclaycollective@gmail.com

    PRICE: Donations welcome. All contributions will go toward improving the equipment at the Foxlowe Clay Collective and supporting our shared creative space.

    Expect a relaxed evening talking about all things clay.

    Kevin will talk us through his experience as a potter, advising on the The Great Pottery Throwdown, as well as talking about his latest book Ceramics: A Green Approach. Signed copies of the book will also be available to purchase at the event.

    This event is also to celebrate the grand opening of The Foxlowe Clay Collective.

    The Foxlowe Clay Collective is a volunteer run community pottery at the Foxlowe Arts Centre, set up over the course of 2023 and 2024 by members of the community. We are a not for profit project, wanting to provide an opportunity for people in Leek and the wider Staffordshire Moorlands to work with clay.

    As a newly opened studio, our aim is to get quality equipment in place, and then expand to meet the demand for access to the studio, which is already surpassing our expectations.

    Please email us at foxloweclaycollective@gmail.com, to confirm your attendance and/or reserve a seat. Donations will be collected at the event and are cash only. For larger non-cash donations contact us by email.

    All donations from the event will contribute to our new kiln fund, as our second hand one is slowly but surely falling apart!
