Alice Kettle joined Annemarie O’Sullivan and ceramic artist Elaine Bolt for a making day with Helen Carnac, on their Making Ground project. This is an Arts Council funded collaborative interdisciplinary project exploring site-specific making at a disused brickworks in Sussex. Sourcing materials from this post-industrial site, basket-maker  are working together.

This research and development project is focusing on a sense of place, changing seasons, and how being closer to the source of our materials, and working together can affect our making. We’re investigating how a collaborative journey emerges and involving other artists to enrich our collaborative process.
