This spring Kettle’s Yard is holding an exhibition showing the remarkable work of my long-term Hero Lucie Rie. Her forms and lines have been on my radar since my student days. When Andrew Nairne got in touch and told me about the exhibition coming to town I was delighted. And even more so to get involved in some way. I was asked to make bowls inspired by LR but to make them in my way - not s copy but a celebration of her work.
I came up with three designs that were accepted and I have rolled them out as a limited edition of 50 pieces each. Each bowl is numbered in a box with a card. I don’t work in this way normally but the link to LR and it being in Cambridge on my doorstep made me happily accept.
