Lisa Hammond MBE, a pioneer of soda-glaze firing, combines strong uncomplicated forms with highly tactile surfaces.
Alongside her series of thrown functional ware, this influential London potter explores a range of individual wheel-thrown vessels – bowls, bottles and jars that are decorated with brush marks and poured slips and glazes, taking on an intriguing depth when fired. The finished works suggest the softness of clay and celebrate a handcrafted quality.
Don’t miss this chance to admire Lisa’s recent body of work, through which she primarily explores a range of bottle and jar forms, each bearing individual and playful surface decoration.

Throughout his long career Peter has always sought pathways to the development of new ideas. Often this is a slow process, but sometimes a particular event speeds things along.
Partaking of two residencies in China recently, where Peter worked in porcelain at high temperatures, led him to develop a new body of work, made alongside his existing practice to which Peter is still deeply committed.
This new exhibition represents the outcome of Peter’s working practice.
'This exhibition explores objects that express a quiet equilibrium: fragile, shifting forms that exist in a state of delicate imbalance. Their stillness is easily disturbed, as if the act of holding too tightly might cause something essential to disappear. The works reflect an interest in forms that resist perfection, remaining slightly unresolved, unsettled, and quietly alive.' Akiko Hirai
