Stack

Manohar Lal, Jugdish Prajapat, Sandra Bowkett, Ann Ferguson

Crosshatched 2015 offers a unique series of ceramic workshops that will excite both experienced artists and those completely new to the ceramic experience through a collaborative encounter with  traditional Rajasthani potters Manohal Lal his son Jugdish Prajapat facilitated by Sandra Bowkett and Ann Ferguson.

Stack Sculpture Workshops
Stack sculptures — matka (waterpots) assembled on a central pole — make an intriguing focal point in both outdoor and indoor environs.  The beautifully light and rounded forms of the matka present a three-dimensional canvas for carving, imprinting and painting using a palette of earth colours dug from the Castlemaine environs. Combine traditional Rajasthani techniques with your own contemporary aesthetic.

Family Workshops
Enjoy the cross-cultural interactive experience of making a small pot on the traditional Rajasthani pottery wheel assisted by our visiting potters. Decorate a matka as a family. Sandra and Ann are able to support the younger participants to make a satisfying contribution to a family piece.

‘The process had a sense of timelessness about it that was
quite profound and enlivening.’
