A frame is provided: a site, raw matter, a group, four days. The participants will work both in a large amount of clay on the floor and in a thick layer on a table, alternating immersing oneself fully in the material, with working with hands and arms in the confined space of the table. The same clay will be used over and over again, by keeping it wet and workable.
Working with raw clay
Alexandra Engelfriet will engage the participants in a process that is based on her own practice, one which employs direct physical interaction with vast quantities of clay, to move them away from an object-oriented approach, opening them up to a purely sensuous experience of the material. Awareness of clay as primordial matter, which is animated by all kinds of forces, is at the heart of the processes one engages in during the workshop. Collaboration will be important, working together, often in rhythmical patterns, slowly building up a field of energy.
Duration: 4 days.
Registration fee: 450 €, including lunches and basic material.
Participants: Max. 10 attendants.
Language: English and Dutch with possibility of French translation by the assistant.
