For inspiration
Meet ceramicist Matt Raw
London-based ceramic artist Matt Raw talks us through his creative process as he leads a month–long course, specially put together for Make! The New Brutal
Building the Brutal
Photographer Peter Bloomfield was commissioned by the Barbican to document the final stages of building's construction. His beautiful images - which have never been shared with the public - capture the astonishing scale of the construction effort.
Sculptural Ceramic Course
Brutal Textures
Create your own brutally beautiful ceramic sculpture in this month–long course led by artist Matt Raw.
The course kicks off with an Architecture Tour, where you can find inspiration in the many surfaces and textures of the Barbican Centre and estate. You'll spend the next three weeks developing your ideas across a collection of hand-rolled 'slabs' of clay; drying them, firing them and glazing them.
