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.

“My making process is a daily repetition in a calm and quiet place. My work is a reflection of thoughts and sensibility in these moments of making.”
“I am wary of having a formula, thinking I have cracked the code… The feeling of satisfaction is surely my enemy. I need to stay focused on trying to create work that has real freedom in it, freedom from materials, method or mentality.”
“Central to my work is the concept of the vessel: creating associations with sharing, ritual and celebration, reminders of our humanity, our history and connection with nature.”
