WHERE
SINTER will be held at The Cedar Court Hotel in Bradford, England. It is a modern, AA four-star hotel built just for events our size and offers nice bedrooms with well-equipped ensuite bathrooms at a reasonable price, plus lots of meeting rooms and generously sized gathering areas for us to have some metal clay fun! We will be occupying the whole hotel.
LEARNING
SINTER is built around learning, with sessions designed to sharpen your skills and help you take your work to the next level. If metal clay is also your business, you’ll have opportunities to grow your marketing and teaching know-how as well. SINTER will feature 20 presenters from around the globe, including well-known metal clay masters and up-and-coming trailblazers in our community.
HANDS-ON LEARNING
For a fully immersive SINTER experience, add on a two-day workshop either before or after the main event. Learn hands-on with one of our twelve superstar instructors. Deepen your learning and forge lasting friendships as you learn and create in a small group.
FUN AND FRIENDS
Long before you arrive at SINTER, you’ll get to start connecting with old friends and making new ones. During the weekend you’ll have plenty of time to laugh, learn and launch new ideas with the most supportive community of artists anywhere. Check out all the special activities at SINTER that are designed with fun in mind.
EXHIBITION
Superbly Sintered 2024:
Masterful Designs in Metal Clay
It’s inspiring to see great work in metal clay, and it’s rewarding to see your own innovative work recognized by the metal clay community. You won’t want to miss Superbly Sintered 2024: Masterful Designs in Metal Clay, a curated in-person exhibition of exceptional works in metal clay. 22 pieces chosen by a distinguished jury will be exhibited at SINTER.
The exhibition, Superbly Sintered 2024: Masterful Designs in Metal Clay, supports AMCAW’s mission to nurture artistic excellence and bolster the reputation of metal clay as an artistic medium.
SINTER MARKETPLACE
The SINTER Marketplace vendor hall will feature your favorite metal clay suppliers. Get a close-up view of tools and supplies you can usually see only in online photos. Ask questions of the experts and let them know what you’d like to see from them in the future. SINTER would not be possible without the generous support of these vendors, so be sure to show your appreciation. Besides, there’s nothing better than unpacking your shiny new tools when you get home from a metal clay event!
