Ordinary Ornamentation: Ceramic Tile Workshop with Alice Aldis at SET Social
17 Aug 25 — 17 Aug 25
Workshop
Venue: SET Social 55a Nigel Road London, SE15 4NP United Kingdom
Designer Alice Aldis invites participants to explore overlooked everyday textures through clay.In this hands-on workshop, you’ll create a decorative tile or coaster using air-dry clay and found patterns. Bring your own textured objects, or choose from a selection provided. Together, you’ll experiment with the often unnoticed surfaces that surround us, pressing them into clay to form subtle impressions and decorative forms.
About the Designer
Alice Aldis is a multidisciplinary designer working across ceramics, ornamentation and process-led practice. Her recent project, Ordinary Ornamentation, exhibited at Copeland Park in Peckham, explores a shift away from traditional ideas of ornament. From embossed toilet paper to the patterns inside security envelopes, Alice’s work draws attention to quiet, functional details—and how they can shape new ways of thinking about decoration.
This workshop builds on those discoveries, inviting a closer look at the textures of everyday life.
