In January 2021 Students of The University of Birmingham were invited to participate with Woodsetton in a workshop as part of their Arts Festival which had been delayed since the summer of 2020. Originally conceived as a demonstration and workshop of throwing by Lorraine of Woodsetton to be held in marquees in the Quad, this was postponed and instead students sent a kit containing a piece of thrown stoneware and materials and glaze to their homes or halls of residence. Lorraine then led them in a zoom workshop to design, paint and glaze their pieces which were subsequently returned to Woodsetton for final firing. These pieces represent some of the splendid results.
A happier memory of lockdown for the students of 2020/1.
