These pieces were made at the workshop with The Voice of Domestic Workers we c­­o-organised with Cubitt Gallery.

The Voice of Domestic Workers is an education and campaigning group for justice and rights for Britain’s tens of thousands foreign domestic workers that work for the wealthiest residents of London. Apart from providing support to individuals in difficult situation the group seeks to end discrimination and protect migrant domestic workers living in the UK by providing or assisting in the provision of education, training, healthcare and legal advice.

At the workshop we made and decorated simple terracotta pots, listened to the stories and shared a Malaysian rice cooked by Yasmin, one of the domestic workers. One can read group’s slogans and names of the participants on the pots that carry their presence and mood as a group. We are privileged to have met the group and to host their work in the studio while they are patiently waiting for it. We hope these pieces may inspire you making your own pottery and sculpture differently.

Visit their website to find out more about their work and help us support them.
