About the Associate Artist leading the session: Harriet is an independent ceramic designer and artist based in the Essex countryside. Her creative exploration has been deeply influenced by her fascination with line, repetition, tactility, and light. These elements have guided her ever since she started creating objects with her own hands. Website: www.harrietcaslin.com (http://www.harrietcaslin.com/)
