Akiko Hirai
Ceramics

Studio Potter Paul Philp
Ceramics

A solo exhibition by renowned Studio Potter Paul Philp. Paul’s exhibition will reveal his influences of the natural world. As he puts it, “I have in mind rugged eroded surfaces, megaliths, fossils, ancient encrusted marbles and something of the quality of early Japanese Ceramics – Shigaraki and Iga ware.”

‘The Language of Spoons’ — a showcase of renowned Metal Artist Simone ten Hompel is now in the gallery.⁣

⁣Hompel sees metal as her first language, strongly believing that a true understanding of any craft must come through the experience of making. Over an illustrious career, she has earned a reputation as one of the most inventive silversmiths of her generation.⁣

“Spoons are the first tools we learn to use and they are most likely the last tool we use with some dignity. Spoons are my kind of canvas where I can express this aspect of life. Alpha and Omega & all that happens in-between.”⁣

A solo show by Swedish Ceramic Artist Kina Björklund. Historical references abound in the work of Kina; decoration found in 18th-century ceramics, old lace, antique brooches and old ironmongery (her sister is an antique dealer). Kina uses these" tools" to stamp her plates and bowls. They provide intricate patterns. She uses terracotta clay and white transparent glazes, which look like icing on a cake.

‘Capturing Stillness’ is an exhibition of porcelain objects and dyed textiles. The exhibition showcases South Korean Ceramicist JaeJun Lee and Scottish Artist Hayley McCrirrick. Both artists capture a stillness through a refined palette and materials. They are led by their making process, allowing the repetition of core techniques to embody their intuition. The refinement of their processes showcases an exhibition that captures a tranquil and welcoming stillness to the gallery.

We look forward to welcoming you to our joyous celebration of flowers by French artist Cécile Daladier. We will be showcasing a collection of Cecile’s ceramic Pique-Fleurs, that are inspired by Robert Schumann’s poetic ensemble ‘Einsame Blumen’.
