As a collective, our ambition is to create an open access ceramics studio in Aberdeen providing space

29/10/2026

We’re looking forward to next weekend, where we’ll have invited Malawian artist, researcher and designer-maker Mtamandeni Mtambalika in the studio for a two-week exploration of traditional African pottery.

Split over two Saturdays, participants will explore traditional approaches to forming, surface decoration and mark-making and participate in a traditional pit firing. You’ll have the opportunity to experiment with different approaches and develop your own clay forms while gaining a greater understanding of the cultural knowledge and traditions behind them.

Spaces are still available and we’d love to see you there!

Week 1 – Making & Mark Making
7 November 2026, 14:00 - 18:00

Week 2 – Traditional Pit Firing
14 November 2026 (14:00 - 16:00)

£160 per person (which includes tuition, all materials and the pit firing of 2-3 pieces each).

If you have any questions or would like to know more about the masterclass send us a message or email us at [email protected]

This November we’re excited to be joined by Malawian artist, researcher and designer-maker Mtamandeni Mtambalika for a two-week exploration of traditional African pottery, drawing on his experience of indigenous pottery practices from Malawi.

Through demonstrations and hands-on making, you’ll explore traditional approaches to forming, surface decoration and mark-making, while considering the relationship between pottery, everyday life and food culture.

Over two Saturdays, Mtamandeni will introduce you to the forms, techniques and visual language that inform his own practice and research. You’ll have the opportunity to experiment with these approaches, developing your own clay forms while gaining a greater understanding of the cultural knowledge and traditions behind them.

Week 1 – Making & Mark Making
7 November 2026 (14:00 - 18:00)

Week 2 – Traditional Pit Firing
14 November 2026 (14:00 - 16:00)

£160 per person (which includes tuition, all materials and the pit firing of up to 2 pieces each).
