Clay (co)Construction Ph.D.

Clay (co) Construction Ph.D.

I am doing an Arts & Humanities Research Council funded creative practice PhD, Oct 2023- Oct 2027. Entitled Clay (co)Construction, exploring how creative clay practice can be used to improve health, wellbeing and social isolation within the veteran community in Sunderland. This is a collaboartive doctorate, partnered with local charity Veterans in Crisis Sunderland and funded through the Northern Bridge Consortium.

In the first year I have developed a community group titled Veterans into Clay, the group meet weekly to work creatively with clay, learn new skills and socialise. The group are exhibiting work at the National Glass Centre Oct 2024 - January 2025.
