Clay in vivo brings together eight artists who work with clay to explore ideas that have, at their heart, its materiality, raw energy and plasticity – as well as its ability to hold memory and tell stories.

All the works in the show celebrate unfired clay, which gives rise to the possibility of change and transition over the course of the exhibition.

Clay in vivo goes beyond the usual exhibition to offer visitors a hands-on creative experience with clay through workshops and performances, which unfold clay’s capacity to connect, heal, shape and reimagine our world.

Exhibiting Artists: Barbara Beyer, Mary Branson, Stathis Dimitriadis, Beatrice Galletley, Sandy Layton, Desa Philippi, Lisa Snook, Livia Spinolo

Venue: ASC Art House Gallery, Grafton Rd, Croydon, CR0 3PR
