Our honorary ambassador Kate Malone MBE is inviting 50 London Potters members to have a picnic at Kent farmhouse to on the 15th July. During the picnic, Kate would like attendees to take part in a critical analysis of work with each other.

In this workshop, attendees will be sculpting a small figure. Attendees will learn about basic body proportions and how these change with age, how to make an armature out of drinking straws to cheat at getting these proportions right.

This specialist walk will take place on the north bank of the Thames at Westminster with a focus on the Lambeth potteries on the south bank and the works of Henry Doulton, a titan of industrial ceramics.

Following the talk on the 13th May, we are delighted to announce the collaboration event with Sogetsu Ikebana London Branch (SILB).

This is the London Potters Annual General Meeting. All members are invited. We have endeavored to make this an informative and enjoyable networking event for our members. In addition to the formal proceedings, the event includes a keynote speaker, demonstration and social drinks.
