Kurt Jackson Exhibition - Wheal Martyn Clay Works
We are delighted to present an exhibition by contemporary artist Kurt Jackson, influenced by his time at Littlejohns China Clay Works. Kurt’s work is fuelled by a long standing interest in Cornwall’s extractive industry and its role in shaping the physical landscape, culture and heritage of the county. Kurt worked in situ, observing the workers in the pit as they extracted and transported the china clay in an extraordinary manmade landscape. The exhibition includes new mixed media paintings, from huge tarpaulin-sized canvases to small intimate studies. The subject matter ranges from the ‘washing’ of the clay with high pressure monitors, to the blasting of the rock and breaking and transportation.

Clay Piskie Artist Demonstration - Wheal Martyn Clay Works
Bucca-hidden Performance Workshops
Dates: 3rd, 10th and 17th AugustLocal ceramic artist Zenna Tagney will be on site creating a gang of clay piskies - 'Buccawidden' - made from porcelain with local china clay. You can watch them being made in situ at Wheal Martyn and find them hidden away in nooks and crannies across Wheal Martyn from the 1st of September.
'Bucca' is a very old Cornish word meaning 'spirit’. Folklorist William Bottrell collected stories about the good spirits “Bucka Gwidden” 'gwidden' meaning white in the 1890s.
In more recent times, the 'white' of their name has led to Buccawidden being associated, through plays and stories, with China clay, the 'white gold' of Clay Country.No need to book, Zenna will be making the piskies in situ so drop by, have a look and ask questions!

Clay Piskie Artist Demonstration - Wheal Martyn Clay Works
Bucca-hidden Performance Workshops
Dates: 3rd, 10th and 17th AugustLocal ceramic artist Zenna Tagney will be on site creating a gang of clay piskies - 'Buccawidden' - made from porcelain with local china clay. You can watch them being made in situ at Wheal Martyn and find them hidden away in nooks and crannies across Wheal Martyn from the 1st of September.
'Bucca' is a very old Cornish word meaning 'spirit’. Folklorist William Bottrell collected stories about the good spirits “Bucka Gwidden” 'gwidden' meaning white in the 1890s.
In more recent times, the 'white' of their name has led to Buccawidden being associated, through plays and stories, with China clay, the 'white gold' of Clay Country.No need to book, Zenna will be making the piskies in situ so drop by, have a look and ask questions!
