Add My Company Clay & Paper
Sands Farm, Sands Hill, Dyrham Chippenham SN14 8ES, United Kingdom
Rural arts studio offering seasonal workshops in paper clay sculpture, botanical printmaking, and mixed media ceramics. Founded by artist educator Kate O’Neill in 2018, the studio occupies a converted barn surrounded by woodlands. Students create sculptural reliefs by combining organic textures—like leaves and seed pods—with recycled paper clay, kiln firing pieces to achieve a delicate surface patina.

Operations emphasize small group learning (max 8 participants), with all materials provided. Morning sessions cover clay body preparation and paper pulp mixing; afternoons focus on design development and finishing techniques using acrylic washes and cold glazing. The studio also hosts weekend “Clay & Café” retreats, blending hands on workshops with farm to table meals prepared from local produce. Through residencies and open studios, Clay & Paper fosters a vibrant countryside art community.
