Kinska invites you to be part of her next exhibition, VOID
Join us for a 3 week ceramics workshop series and co-create with Kinska for her upcoming exhibition VOID at SPACE Gallery, Ilford (Launching autumn 2026)
Join us in making objects that hold memory, emotion, and imagination.
Let’s explore the meaning of VOID together through clay, storytelling, and shared creativity.
“VOID comes with many different faces. I am on a journey to explore what VOID means, and I want to invite you to come with me…” – Kinska
Be part of artist, illustrator, and ceramicist Kinska’s next exhibition by joining a hands-on series of ceramics workshops. Across three weekly sessions, you’ll learn clay sculpting, decoration and creative storytelling through object-making, contributing to a collaborative wall installation for the exhibition VOID.
The exhibition explores how emptiness, absence, memory, and transformation shape our lives. Through making, we will explore what the idea of “void” awakens within us: grief, change, love, imagination, and everything that lives in between.
Together we will create handmade wall ceramics that will incorporate memories and companion stories . Small wall-mounted artworks, in the form of shrines that hold personal meaning, memory, or emotion. These objects act as vessels: carriers of stories and reminders of the moments, people, and feelings that shape us.
What you will do
Over three sessions, you will:
Session 1: Create ceramics artworkwork
- Learn basic hand-building techniques
- Shape a small ceramic pieces as a home for memory, feeling, or story
- Explore how form carries emotion and how clay “remembers” gestures
Session 2: Continue the companion story within the piece
- Develop your ideas through imagination, symbolism, and personal reflection
- Create the story that accompanies and completes your ceramic artwork
Session 3: Hand painting
- Add surface details, colour, texture and storytelling elements
- Prepare your piece for firing
- Finalise the work for inclusion in the exhibition
By the end, each participant will contribute one completed wall-mounted artwork to the exhibition. (The artwork will remain with Kinska and it will be returned to the creator- participant after the exhibition has ended).

Kinska is an East London-based artist with a unique and eye-catching style that travels fluidly through the worlds of ceramics, illustration, and storytelling. Striking and joyful, her work is the result of introspection and personal insights into emotions and feelings, a dip into the soulful world that exists in her mind. With playful and immersive energy, she draws us into a pareidolic universe where everyday objects have their own life. Born in Argentina she began her creative life as a fashion designer working for womenswear for several years. In 2009 when she moved to London, she encountered clay.
Discovering ceramics changed her trajectory. The material allowed her to inject vitality into her characters, infusing every piece with her own feelings present at the point of making, and cultivating a distinctive, animated style. She combines her two artistic languages to create a three-dimensional canvas for her to tell her stories on, with a particular interest in creating artworks that are also functional objects.
Following her first solo show at Anthropologie King’s Road Gallery, she was invited to create a large-scale installation at Now Gallery and an exclusive collection for the V&A shop.
