Ether & Ember: Drawing, Clay & the Spaces Between

This collaborative session brings together gestural drawing and clay embodiment in a single evolving process. Participants will move between stations, beginning with movement-led mark-making and transitioning into clay, or vice versa, allowing each material to inform the next.

Guided by artists Kandre Arámide Hassan and Freda Osayuki Igiogbe, attendees will explore how heat and atmosphere, weight and lightness, imprint and gesture converse across mediums. The workshop highlights transformation as a shared language: what moves through charcoal can echo in clay, and what settles in clay can reappear as line.

Themes: transformation, duality, conversation, material thresholds

Outcome: A paired set of clay + drawing experiments showing cross-material influence.

Info: Participants bring drawings created in Kandre's first workshop, or if new: quick drawing warm-up. Participants choose one drawing to pass to another person.

Info: Using the drawing each participant receives, they create a small clay form. Prompt: Translate what you feel, not what you see.

Info: Participants swap their clay forms. Now they create a drawing inspired by the sculpture. Prompt: Draw the heat inside the object.

Info: Clay + drawings displayed together, becoming a micro-installation.

Info: Participants reflect on what changed when someone handled their marks? What happens when ether meets ember? How translation creates community.
