The year advances at a
pace - the change around this month seems with us all too quickly. We have
three very different makers for us all to enjoy. Two of them have not exhibited
here before and the third has shown here on several occasions and his
reputation grows with each exhibition.
Many of
you who are regular visitors will know the work of of Jin Eui Kim He is
a meticulous maker with high level design and making skills. He demonstrates
the impact of line and subtle colour on the way we view a vessel and the way
light can change everything. Visitors to the gallery have always been amazed at
his immaculate technique – all his work is hand decorated with stunning
accuracy and flawless finish.
Laura Bird is here
for the first time. She is an illustrator and potter based in
Hackney, East London. With her background in illustration, a strong focus on
narrative, character and pattern can be found in each piece. This is definitely
ceramics to make you smile.
Ben Arnup is the other
newcomer to the gallery this month although he has been an established and
innovative maker over a number of years now. Trompe l'oeil is a familiar
technique in art and his use in ceramics produces pieces which will always make
you stop and think twice – at least! We are also particularly pleased that he
will be joining us for the Makers Lunch on Saturday 4 August and I am confident
that it will be a fascinating and insightful experience. Do come and join us.
So there
we are - hopefully enough to whet
your appetite for yet another month.
