We have been firing more work Esther Neslen’s collaborative work
These pieces were produced by school and nursery children under skilful supervision by artist Esther. Here they are downstairs ready to be taken away for assembling. 2 out of 10 human-size persons. Brilliant and challenging project!

These pieces were made at the workshop with The Voice of Domestic Workers we cÂÂo-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.

The workshop is a part of Structures That Cooperate: Get Paid! curated by Louise Shelley, and is supported by Arts Council England and Outset Contemporary Art Fund.
We were pleased to meet so many lovely people at the opening of the Ceramics Studio Co-op. It was a joyful evening and we were pleased so many enjoyed it with us, it was a lovely party.
As planned, on the party Ceramics Studio Co-op facilitated making of collective pot about South London. It happened to become a bowl about South London. Anna Baskakova, one of the founding members led the process of co-creation at the beginning. Thanks to everyone who participated!
The bowl is still in progress. We will keep everyone posted.
