An insight into our V & A workshop in June

Julie Nelson and the Grounding Project held 3 packed workshops on 16th June, for the launch of Refugee Week, in the Ceramics Collection of the V & A for people to make clay birds and engage with Flock Project. Participants learned about Starling murmurations, looked at the shapes of their favourite birds and set about recreating in clay with amazing results that will take part in an exhibition in September.
