Join Watts Gallery at the Guildford Festival of the Arts to celebrate the 175th anniversary of Mary Watts' birth.
As a tribute to the artist, designer, and visionary craftswoman, we’re inviting the community to help us create 175 miniature pots in her distinctive style. Drop in to meet our resident ceramicist, Bahareh Khomeiry, and learn how to hand-build a simple pot inspired by Mary Watts’ legacy.
Your creation will be taken back to Watts Gallery to be fired and displayed as part of a special exhibition honouring Mary’s life and work. After the exhibition, you’ll be able to collect your finished piece to keep.
As an artist, designer, writer, businesswoman and philanthropist, Mary found ways for her art and creativity to support and inspire the people around her. She was the creative powerhouse behind two significant enterprises: the Watts Chapel and the Potters’ Arts Guild at Compton.
