In this bold group show, we bring you new work by two accomplished and risk-taking makers working at opposite ends of the UK.
Sarah Jenkins works from her house and studio surrounded by farmland in North Essex. Patricia Shone has been living and working on the Isle of Skye for the past 25 years. Though surrounded by starkly different landscapes, these artists both use clay to express their responses to the land.
Each artist favours handbuilding as a making process, embracing textured and carved surfaces that possess a raw, tactile quality. Patricia’s works achieve soft earthenware blacks and greys through raku, wood and charcoal saggar firing, while Sarah embraces satin like surfaces, some bearing graphic line work and others revealing abstract patterns of colour. Both bodies of work are organic and elemental in nature, sitting in harmonious dialogue with one another.
Join us in admiring this elemental collection full of detail and nuance.

Based in Germany, Martin is an internationally acclaimed artist, with award winning pieces in museums and galleries all over the world.
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.
Peter Beard’s work has been exhibited around the world and is represented in numerous museums, public collections and private collections in the UK and overseas. The award winning artist has a contemplative approach to making and spends much of his time sketching out ideas for new pieces.
