Hooray for clay! Projects that put clay and ceramics centre stage are invaluable, be it in architecture, public sculpture, cups and saucers on your breakfast table, or passing on an understanding of the material. Clayground Collective are true clay ambassadors. Their extraordinary work is exemplary.

This is not a how-to book but a Can you? book. There is a real passion to discover through materials. This book challenges those with specialist skills to engage the public in that discovery and provides a route to get started.

If you're a practitioner setting out to work with schools and the public, where do you go for advice? Clay in Common is a great starting point.

As clay and ceramic courses decline in schools, craft and hand skills risk being lost. Clay in Common makes a strong case for the vital role of clay in schools and wider society. For teachers, parents, school governors, artist-facilitators, and education policy-makers, the book has detailed case studies with ideas for projects and activities that can bridge school and community life.
