Ceramic artist Matt Raw shows one of the trainees around the V&A's Ceramics collection

I'm currently working as a freelancer for Art on the Underground as the Engagement Project Manager on the Clay Station project. On Tuesdays and Wednesdays the trainees are making bespoke clay tiles with ceramic artist Matt Raw and members of Assemble. On Thursdays they are going on research trips with myself, and others, to places such as Town Gas in Hackney (set up by artist Aaron Angell and offering free workshops for young people), the Contemporary Ceramics Centre, the British Museum (Chinese Ceramics), Grayson Perry: The Most Popular Art Exhibition Ever! at the Serpentine Gallery, the V&A (Ceramics collections) and also the London Transport Museum to find out about Frank Pick and his vision for Art on London Transport. I have also been mentoring the trainees on these days. Their research will lead up to the final day of their traineeship when they will each create their own tile in Matt's studio, inspired by what they have seen and the skills that they have learnt.
