About the Artists
Collective Exchange
Collective Exchange by Ina Norman is the vehicle used for projects exploring social, historical and site-specific narratives through processes of making in collaboration with artists across different art forms.
Ina Norman is a visual artist and designer-maker with a background in psychology. She has a keen interest in how processes of making can engage people on social topics and illustrate the therapeutic benefits of creativity and making.
Collective Exchange collaborated with local artist Josefina Isaza on this project.
Josefina Isaza
Josefina Isaza is a Colombian ceramic artist and a selected member of the Crafts Potters Association.
Her style is influenced by Japanese contemporary aesthetics and concepts of imperfect beauty.
About the Community
Collective Exchange ran a series of maker classes where they showcased potters and ceramic artists of Haringey in conjunction with community groups including Moselle Community Group, Bigbury House, Inspirit and National Residents. Collective Exchange also ran drop-in ‘Clay Days’ at Bruce Castle Museum and Archive, where workshop attendees learned techniques including slip casting, press mold and decal to create their own soup bowls.
