Celebrating the work of Adam Frew, this solo exhibition focuses on his clean, traditional, porcelain forms, decorated with colourful and imaginative markings.
Each of his pieces are thrown on the potters wheel and subtly show the makers hand, which creates a beautiful sense of life within the craftsmanship of his work.
‘I enjoy the spontaneity of throwing, the speed of production and I seek to reflect this energy in my mark making. My marks are continually evolving, I am interested in contrasts; sharp lines, crayon scribbles, brush marks, sponged back sections. It is this ongoing investigation that invigorates my making.’ – Adam Frew

For this new exhibition, Jane Perryman will be showing a group of hemispherical double walled bowls mixed with different organic and man-made materials collected randomly, each a metaphor for memory and words.
Using combinations of press moulding, coiling and slabbing processes before burnishing the surface, her pieces are then low fired and then refined with sandpaper followed by a higher temperature firing.
