Event Information

THE AVEBURY PAPERS – CLAY SPIRAL LABYRINTH WORKSHOP: FREE EVENT with Lucie Smith

Create your own spiral labyrinth tile in clay; an ancient symbol of growth and self-discovery. Using your hands to carefully trace the labyrinth imprinted into the clay surface, you’ll create a unique and personal artwork inspired by ancient art and spirit.

There is no need to book for this event – just turn up on the day between 10am and 12.30pm (last entry). Places will be allocated on a first come first served basis. If you’d like to let us know you are coming, please book a free ticket below to receive updates.

This event is free, thanks to funding from AHRC for the Avebury Papers Project. There is the option to donate to the gallery below. All donations are gratefully received.

About the Project:

The Avebury Papers is a four-year UKRI funded project to digitise, explore, and share the multimedia archive of Avebury’s Neolithic origins and ongoing investigation. To encourage creative reuse of the archive and inspire new stories, The Avebury Papers Project commissioned two artists, Gayle Chong Kwan and Kialy Tihngang to respond to the wealth of material making up the Avebury Papers, leading to the creation of the artworks Oneiric Archaeologies (Dr Gayle Chong Kwan) and The Bluest Eye (Kialy Tihngang).

Also happening on this date are XR experiences in the gallery. To find out more visit
