Throwing and Altering Porcelain Forms - Course

Throughout this workshop, students will be using the pottery wheel to create a variety of thrown porcelain forms, as well as exploring how to make shape alterations to these vessels.

This is an intensive making and refining course and there will be no specific kiln firing during the week, however, we will prompt students to keep, and finish, a few carefully selected pieces. These will be fired and ready for collection a few weeks later.

Each student will have their own wheel and will receive plenty of individual attention.

A fine Balance
Jul

to 1 Nov

A fine Balance

The exhibition will be held in two parts and will focus on natural phenomena and activities that are frequently personal in terms of our physical impact on the environment through more commercial concerns like horticulture, farming and tourism. Looking at the structures that support the diversity of native flora and fauna alongside a highly maintained version of the countryside and our place within it.

A Fine Balance serves to alert us to our own social context and how significant that is in our outlook toward ‘the great outdoors’. Artists and makers will use current attitudes as well as depictions of the recent past that reveal our encounters with the natural landscape. It is through finding a variety of visualisations that we arrive at a greater understanding of the different claims made upon our immediate environment.

Thanks to Lord and Lady Cholmondeley for their generosity and vision in providing such a beautiful exhibition space.

ABOUT CONTEMPORARY AND COUNTRY

Contemporary and Country (C&C) is a new initiative presenting contemporary art and the handmade by established artists and makers based in the east of England. C&C will hold regular pop-up exhibitions in non-gallery spaces and we will be introducing selected work by international creatives based in rural locations. Their work will be displayed in stimulating settings to suit an informed audience, who look beyond the passing trend.

The space in between

“The Space In Between” brings to the gallery a sophisticated exhibition of ceramic vessels by the much-revered and sought-after Katharina Klug. This is a show which plays with juxtaposing shapes, form and line and places these individual parts within the context of a larger installation work. It a show too, which sees the boundaries between craftsmanship and artistic expression grow hazy.
