Angie is a Sheffield-based ceramicist and visual artist who works with schools, community groups and cultural venues to create large-scale sculpture and ceramics. Angie knows creativity builds confidence and pride, and her projects bring heritage, place and identity together in ways that help young people connect with themselves. She says: "I love enabling young people to creatively express themselves… to be proud of their achievements and have a sense of belonging." In a recent project, Angie worked with children aged 5–14 across Sheffield to create ceramic fishes, one to take home, and one that formed part of an installation in the Winter Gardens. In the installation, all the fish travel in the same direction apart from one. The message: it's OK to swim against the tide! 🐟 Then last year, Angie worked with pupils at Springfield Primary on a heritage-in-schools project coordinated by Create Sheffield in collaboration with Historic England and local heritage partners. Building on tailored heritage lessons, Angie supported pupils to make ceramic pieces of local buildings that meant something to them — including the Henderson’s Relish factory and Sheffield Railway Station. You can find out more via her website at angiehardwick.co.uk or her Facebook page Ange Made Ceramics, or explore her Create Sheffield Profile. If you’d like to work with Angie, get in touch!
