Matthew Blakely’s work is made entirely from rocks and clays collected from selected places around the UK, thus representing their geology and mineralogy.
Adam Buick uses a single pure jar form as a canvas to map his observations from an ongoing study of his surroundings.
Adam Frew creates functional porcelain pieces and large one-off pots with the surface offering a perfect ground for his distinctive decoration.
Jaejun Lee is deeply inspired by the moon jars of the Joseon Dynasty, but rather than reproduce them he aspires to apply his own contemporary ideography.
Stephen Parry and Lone Borgen work collaboratively exploring an exciting new visual conversation in which very distinct and in some ways seemly conflicting approaches move together and bounce off each other over the surface of the clay.
Tricia Thom’s work takes references from her love of a Japanese aesthetic where surfaces of her pots are treated with bold, loose calligraphic brush strokes which contrast with the conformity of shape.
Exhibition pieces will be viewable online from Thursday 17th August 2023.

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
