A Silent Transformation film screening
Join us for one of the first screenings of A Silent Transformation film in London that we are co-hosting with a local housing. This screening is a part of Cooperative Fortnight, celebration of co-operative difference.A Silent Transformation is a film about the transformative power of the co-operative model.
The co-operative movement was built by people who took on the responsibility for their collective well-being in the face of government neglect, economic exclusion and cultural discrimination.
As the modern economy increasingly denies vast sectors of the population basic amenities for decent life, this co-operative spirit is as critical as ever. However, over the years the co-op sector has become insular and poorly understood.The film sets out to explore the innovative self-help efforts of diverse communities across the Province of Ontario. By addressing their needs collectively they are helping to regain the radical vision of co-operation.
In these communities are the seeds of economic democracy, global solidarity, and a new popular movement to transform society.The license for this screening had been kindly provided by Co-operatives UK, the regional cooperative body for the UK. The screening is co-organised by Sanford Housing Co-Op and Ceramics Studio Co-op.

People’s Pottery Class – Student Projects
Here are some results from People’s Pottery Class, our regular evening and weekend pottery workshops. Most of the pieces here were made in the winter term this year. There is a bunch of plates made with hump moulds and few pieces thrown on potter’s wheel, examples of slip decoration and marbling.
We like to work with glaze, and encourage participants to experiment with form and decoration. One can see that with time projects become more experimental and confident. Some works in the gallery were made by students who have been attending a class regularly for several years, others were made by students taking up pottery first time by joining our 12- week course. This small selection of pieces is here to give you an idea of what can be made in our studio during our regular classes.
We are excited to see what will summer term students come up with, follow us for the updates!
More information about our regular classes are on People’s Pottery Class page.

Telegraph Hill Festival
Recent artwork and pottery by your ceramics educators and kiln ladies
As a part of Telegraph Hill Festival Open Studios Anna Baskakova, Lenka Kalafutova, and Tatiana Baskakova will present a small garden exhibition bringing together their recent pieces focusing on the exploration of body and ceramics as a medium.
Lenka Kalafutova will show several mural pieces from Bleach me, a collaborative project with poet Adae and graphic designer Dusan Kacan, which stems from a personal desire to understand the experiences of queer persons and people of colour in different cultural contexts. Murals focusing on whiteness as a commercial ideal and erasure of identity came about as a part of this conversation.
Anna Baskakova’s work have been reflecting on the fragility of body, and human resilience despite existing in the context of societal oppression and gendered relations. She works combining clays and colour slips to create pieces that explore material tension and illusions of delicacy.
Tatiana Baskakova’s recent work continues on-going experiential research into materiality of the body and culture of community boxing. Artist’s body and ceramics sculpture are the dominant mediums to continue investigating matters of embodiment, gender and violence in sport. She will show new skipping rope pieces and performance work.
Most recent handmade ceramic wares made by Ceramics Studio Co-op members will be available for sale.
