Music Evening 
May 16th  2025

Sofar Sounds hosted a music evening in Encounters Garden where the performing artists remained a mystery until just before the event.

 It was an opportunity for 50 guests to see the 2025 exhibition and enjoy a relaxed musical evening. Another excellent way for Encounters to serve the community.

 

​

A Talk by Mette Maya - entitled My Ceramics - 
was given in Encounters on the 4th May 2025

Mette's recent work has won the European Prize for Applied Arts Exhibition and she has recently had two pieces accepted in the Permanent Collection of American Museum of Ceramic Art. She writes: "I love the feel of clay and the immediate response of the material, which communicates at a sensory level. I believe the senses bypass logic and provide a direct route to our inner life. I work in a territory inhabited by fleeting moments… Clay transformation is an important way for me to interpret the world, to see what is truly there, to make sense. Clay is the vessel through which I navigate chaotic thoughts and unconnected impressions. My every action in clay refers back to a mental state and these gestures connect thought, hand and space. Each element investigates the other and creates a channel of communication".

Encounters is celebrating our 15th Anniversary this year
