Preparations are underway for our first exhibition

Preparations are underway for our first exhibition of 2022, which features fourteen recently selected members of the Craft Potters Association.

The exhibition illustrates the power of one material - clay - to bring to life fourteen different creative visions. Some names you may be familiar with already, whilst others will be new. We will feature each maker between now and the exhibition, to share an insight into their ceramic practice.

We begin with Kim Colebrook.

Based in Abergavenny, Kim Colebrook works with hand-built or cast forms to explore her fascination with history, and with geology. Profiles are kept simple, and Kim incorporates texture and colour to convey her ideas often in the form of sets - multiple pieces that come together in different ways. Work in the exhibition will include delicate cylinder vessels as well as sets such as the piece in the image.

New Members Exhibition - Opens Thursday 3rd February

Featured makers - Kim Colebrook, Harriet Coleridge, Sara Dodd, Chloë Dowds, Rachel Foxwell, Jemma Gowland, Carl Gray, Rachel Holian, Kirsty Macrae, Ian Morrison, Jane Muende, Mitch Pilkington, Sarah Went and Graham Williamson.

Following a busy-behind-the-scenes couple of weeks

Following a busy-behind-the-scenes couple of weeks, we re-open tomorrow morning at 11am, with freshly oiled floors and a January spring clean!

As usual we are showing an inspiring range of studio ceramics, from mugs for a quiet morning coffee to pieces that make a statement in the home.

We look forward to seeing you.

Here is a sneak peak of new work from Graham Williamson who is taking part in our upcoming New Members exhibition, which opens on Thursday 03 February 2022. More details to follow...
