Summer Sunday events return to the Geffrye
Listen to rock and roll music and learn fifties-style dances, play party games such as pin the tail on the donkey, explore 1950s objects and make badges inspired by patterns in our mid-century room. There will also be the opportunity to watch a film and attend an Interior Lives exhibition talk at 2.30pm.
Visitors to last year's Ceramics in the City Fair
These special activities form part of our popular selling fair, Ceramics in the City. More information about the event and this year's exhibitors can be found on the Future Events page.
Akemi Solloway will guide participants through a Japanese Tea Ceremony
Akemi Solloway, teacher and lecturer of Japanese language and culture, will take participants through the stages of a traditional Japanese tea ceremony using all the correct ceramics. Akemi will be dressed in a kimono and will bring additional kimonos for participants to wear.
Lisa Hammond will give an illustrated talk on her work. Lisa produces a range of high temperature soda glazed studio pottery, which is both functional and decorative.
Alistair Young will give a demonstration of his technique using salt-glaze. Victorian salt-glaze pottery has been a rich source of inspiration for Alistair's recent work. He also continues to develop his own range of pottery which includes large decorative wall plates as well as smaller, functional items.
