Ceramic nests with Kirsti Brown
Join Kirsti for a fun workshop creating ceramic nests.
During this drop-in workshop you will learn how to make a pulled and pinched vessel which will then be textured using a variety of tools and textures. Taking inspiration from the structures that garden birds create in hidden hedgerows we will carve, press adding texture and colour into the vessel. If time allows eggs or birds can also be made.
The pieces will be taken away to be fired in Kirsti’s workshop and will be ready to collect in 3 - 4 weeks.
Kirsti is a hand builder of ceramic stoneware vessels. Inspiration comes from the landscape, not the totally wild landscape, but the one we as humans have lived and worked in for millennia. Slab-built pieces have a figurative presence and variation is added through slip and glaze finishes. Pinched clay creates either thin seashell-like pieces or more substantial Neolithic inspired work with incised marks inspired by ancient rock carvings.
Kirsti is a member of the Makers Guild Wales and The Potters’ Gallery in Conwy.

Nythod seramig gyda Kirsti Brown
Ymunwch â Kirsti am weithdy hwyliog yn creu nythod ceramig.
Yn ystod y gweithdy galw heibio hwn byddwch yn dysgu sut i wneud llestr wedi'i dynnu a'i binsio a fydd wedyn yn cael ei weadu gan ddefnyddio amrywiaeth o offer a gweadau. Gan gymryd ysbrydoliaeth o'r strwythurau y mae adar yr ardd yn eu creu mewn perthi cudd, byddwn yn eu cerfio, gan wasgu ychwanegu gwead a lliw i'r llestr. Os bydd amser yn caniatáu gellir gwneud wyau neu adar hefyd.
Bydd y darnau’n cael eu cludo i’w tanio yng ngweithdy Kirsti a byddant yn barod i’w casglu ymhen 3 - 4 wythnos.
Mae Kirsti yn adeiladwr llaw o lestri carreg seramig. Daw ysbrydoliaeth o’r dirwedd, nid y dirwedd hollol wyllt, ond yr un yr ydym ni fel bodau dynol wedi byw a gweithio ynddo ers miloedd o flynyddoedd. Mae gan ddarnau o slab bresenoldeb ffigurol ac ychwanegir amrywiad trwy orffeniadau llithro a gwydredd. Mae clai pinsio yn creu naill ai darnau tenau tebyg i gregyn môr neu waith mwy sylweddol wedi’i ysbrydoli gan Neolithig gyda marciau endoredig wedi’u hysbrydoli gan gerfiadau craig hynafol.
Mae Kirsti yn aelod o Urdd Gwneuthurwyr Cymru ac Oriel y Potters yng Nghonwy.
