In this hands-on workshop with Noel Cheung, we will shape our stories through clay, crafting small objects that symbolise the weight that we carry.
Inspired by Ursula K. Le Guin’s The Carrier Bag Theory of Fiction, which proposes the first cultural tool as a container–a carrier bag–for gathering stories, rather than a weapon to conquest. You will design a carrier bag using chappa woodblock stamps to hold and take home the clay pieces representing your journey and the life you continue to build.
All proceeds from the workshop will go to Young Roots, an organisation supporting young refugees seeking safety in the UK, building trusted relationships, providing practical and emotional support and promoting young people’s rights and power.
