I was commissioned to make a limited edition of bowls in three designs. Each of them was made as a take on Lucie Rie’s work, her pots being one of my constant inspirations for my making. A numbered edition of 50 pieces per design.

It will be available alongside the Kettles Yard exhibition about her creative output over her lifespan.

CANCELED

Unfortunately in the light of the government’s announcement this week regarding a change in guidance around Coronavirus, we are unable to proceed with both Oxford Ceramics Fairs. 

This Autumn, back by popular demand, Watts Ceramics will be returning to Watts Contemporary Gallery, in a celebration of pottery's long tradition here at the Artists' Village.

This group ceramics show will feature a dozen leading ceramicists and demonstrate the diversity of contemporary practice. Work will include terracotta, stoneware, earthenware and porcelain.

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.
