Pop-up Festival taster days: get your hands on some clay!
The biennial International Ceramics Festival will be held once again this year in its home at Aberystwyth Arts Centre from 27 to 29 June. The festival is famed for its variety of kiln-firings during the weekend, all fired in the open air on site, free to all to witness. There will be much smoke, flames and excitement in watching kilns being lit, stoked and tended - and beautiful objects emerging when the process is complete.
As a taster of what the festival offers, join festival team members for two free pop-up sessions where you can get your hands dirty and make something out of clay. Held at the Aberystwyth Bandstand 10:00am to 2:00pm on Sunday 1 June, and at the Penparcau Hub on Sunday 15 June, pop in and take part in this fun activity for all ages. Under expert guidance, anyone brave enough can have a go at throwing a pot on a wheel themselves.
Everything made during these pop-up sessions will be fired in a traditional barrel kiln during the main festival and can be collected Sunday 29 June.
Full information about the festival itself will be provided at the pop-ups, including a special offer for discounted tickets for Aberystwyth and district residents.
What a wonderful opportunity for all - and you might just discover your new favourite thing.
