NOTE DIFFERENT VENUE
Clay in Conversation 10: Circles
April 26th 2025
Venue: 
The Stephen Lawrence Gallery, 10 Stockwell Street, SE10 9BD
The curated conversations provide a platform for presentation, dialogue and discovery, bringing together a diverse range of artists with a practice using clay and ceramics.
Each episode centres on a unifying theme - acting as a lens through which the artists present a project. The conversations offer the opportunity to dig deeper into the work, exploring it formally, materially and conceptually, from the perspective of the artists themselves.
The presentations by the artists will be followed by a conversation chaired by 
Gerogia Haseldine 
(Senior Curator, V&A East Storehouse) and a Q&A session with the audience.
Clay in Conversation
 was founded and is curated by artist 
Julia Ellen Lancaster
For this episode we welcome artists 
Sara Howard
 and 
Rosanna Martin
. 
Sara Howard
 is an award-winning British designer dedicated to pioneering circular and regenerative systems in the ceramics industry and beyond.
She graduated from Central Saint Martins in 2020 with a BA (Hons) in Ceramic Design. In her final year, she developed an industrial symbiosis model for ceramics, where waste from one industry replaces virgin raw materials in ceramic production. In 2022, she scaled up this approach in collaboration with Kevala, a ceramic tableware manufacturer in Bali, where her collections have been sold to hotels, restaurants and homes globally. Sara's methods are detailed in 
Circular Ceramics
, a book that empowers ceramicists to integrate sustainable practices in their work.
In 2022, Howard founded Crafting Coral, a nonprofit that regenerates coral reefs through ceramics and community. Crafting Coral currently contributes to coral nurseries in the Maldives, Bali, and Lombok, and hosts workshops globally to raise awareness on the threats and importance of coral.
Howard also co-founded Golden Earth Studio to bridge the gap between artists and the construction industry, providing creatives with access to demolition and excavation by-products as an alternative to virgin materials. These reclaimed materials are transformed into artworks, which are then reintroduced into homes through the Golden Earth Gallery.
In Howard’s book she states ‘Ceramics can be durable and last generations, but the production of ceramics is facing a future dilemma. The materials rely heavily on depleting finite natural resources. Many of which when extracted, have significant ecological and societal impacts. Can the production of ceramics really be sustained?’

Rosanna Martin
 is an artist working in Cornwall. Her practice explores the relationships between landscape, people and materiality through sculpture, participatory projects and events. Altered topographies, objects and marks left on the land by human activity, as evidenced in the reshaping and replacing of geological and manmade material, evoke intrigue and act as starting points for artworks.
Martin co-founded Brickfield in 2018, an artist led participatory brickworks set within a disused china clay quarry near St Austell. Brickfield uses waste clay, quartz sand and mica from the extraction industry to provide brick making workshops for members of the public and local community groups to collectively make bricks by hand connecting people with materials, craft skills and the heritage of Cornish brick making.
Martin completed an MA Ceramics and Glass at the Royal College of Art in 2013 alongside completing an Art Therapy Foundation at the British Association of Art Therapists. She is currently undertaking a PhD at Falmouth University. Her practice-based research is bringing together elements of the domestic space, the playground and the post-industrial, into new sculptural apparatus.
Exhibitions include upcoming 
The Whole World In Our Hands, 
group show at The Stephen Lawrence Gallery, London; 
The Fragmented Landscape
, by invitation of Katie Spragg, Ruup and Form, London; and previously

The teacher is really professional and humorous. I learned a lot about history and culture that I had never been exposed to. It is worth it. &quot;Everyone has his own cage. Even if you can&#39;t break free, you have to try to escape from the predicament and gain freedom.&quot;

美好的你看世界

After watching the Buckingham Palace changing ceremony, we arrived at Westminster Abbey. There were a lot of people in the queue, about an hour and a half before entering the church. There is a interpreter at the door, you can choose Chinese. Follow the team and the interpreter is also explained. My favorite is the Matisse-style painting window. The staff in the church is very high quality and the temperament is very good, which is awe-inspiring.

Buckingham Palace is a must-visit for history lovers, featuring stunning architecture and beautiful gardens. The official residence of the British monarch, it dates back to 1703 and serves as the venue for royal ceremonies and events. Visitors can enjoy a glimpse into royal life, with the Changing of the Guard being a popular attraction.

I thought it was a special ride on the Ferris wheel, but the London Eye made me hit the face! When the capsule reached the highest point, I suddenly understood why the British love to chat. The Thames, Big Ben and the debris building look like they are shining in the sun, and it is really different every day. After landing, I found that the photos were all taken as glass reflections. Forget it, leave some regrets to be true.

Windsor Castle

The Queen&#39;s favorite palace is very luxurious inside, but you are not allowed to take photos, you can only take photos outside. When I entered, I took a photo but was stopped by the staff. Knowing the daily life of the royal family, Windsor Castle is generally very quiet.
