Over more than 25 years Oxford Ceramics Fair has grown to be one of the UK’s most cherished events, with a highly curated selection of some of the UK’s finest makers, balancing new talent and well-known names in a simple and uncomplicated format to a discerning audience. As usual we will feature a programme of talks and demos alongside the main exhibition.

Fresh Air Sculpture is a biennial sculpture exhibition held in the expansive organic garden of The Old Rectory in the Cotswold village of Quenington. The show affords a unique opportunity to see a creative mixture of traditional, modern and cutting-edge sculpture in this stunning outdoor setting. The Old Rectory gardens offer vast lawns joined by a bridge over the River Coln. There are hidden walkways, delightful pergolas, stunning flower beds and impressive vegetable gardens and greenhouses.

Ceramic Art London is an annual event that celebrates the diverse and innovative world of contemporary ceramic art. Held in the vibrant city of London, this showcase brings together talented ceramic artists, enthusiasts, and collectors from around the globe. The event provides a platform for both established and emerging artists to exhibit their unique creations, ranging from traditional pottery to avant-garde sculptural pieces.

Visitors have the opportunity to engage with the artists, gaining insights into their creative processes and the stories behind their works. The event often features a mix of functional and decorative ceramics, highlighting the versatility of this ancient craft in a modern context.

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.

It’s been three years since our show ‘A Fine Line’, that I curated. The current ceramic show echoes the 2017 exhibition and show some fantastic work by many of the makers from back then.

Due to the Corona Pandemic, it had to move online, but the team of CCA has risen to the challenge and realized a brilliant exhibition that is accessible to all.

Investigating how work when work placed together creates a narrative.  Collections of work are brought together by makers whose work sits harmoniously together through shape, size, texture or colour telling a story of contemporary craft practice in the UK today.

“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.
