Tempera & Distemper by Jan Dickey
June 7
A one-day hands-on workshop introducing distemper and tempera — two luminous and decorative methods of painting using natural animal protein binders that predate oil painting and are still practiced by artists today. Participants will learn to prepare panels, make their own gesso and paints from rabbit skin glue, casein, and egg yolk, and apply these non-toxic materials in exercises inspired by medieval and Renaissance methods, exploring historic techniques that remain relevant for contemporary practice.
From London
Designer Talk by Ana Bridgewater
June 9
Sculptor, artist, and material advisor — and the founder of Abalon. With over 20 years working with porcelain and clay, Ana Bridgewater's practice sits at the intersection of material culture, craft knowledge, and contemporary design.
From London
Biomaterial Ceramics Workshop by Ana Bridgewater
June 10
The day after her Designer Talk, Ana invites you to get your hands in the material. Using a warm mix of tapioca pearls, sesame seeds, and cellulose — hand coiling, coil by coil, inspired by coral — you build a ceramic form that, once kiln-fired, holds and diffuses light like nothing else.
From Glasgow
The Stations of the Wound
June 18
A night of personal confrontation and liberation. Fourteen stations. One body. “The Stations of the Wound” is a participatory live performance — an immersive rite of reclamation from that which binds.
