It is time for some blue sky and
the occasional appearance of the sun. Spring may be near but the last vestiges
of winter linger. I hope that our featured makers this month will lighten the
gloom and herald a change in the weather.
Raewyn Harrison is new to Bevere. I first saw her work at Ceramic
Art London and was impressed with her craft skills and her imaginative use of
print on clay. This work is different and has already created great interest.
New Zealand born, Raewyn combines English heritage with contemporary ceramics
in a way that sits well in any setting.

| Sculptures by Gaynor & Paul |
Ostinelli and Priest have delivered a new group of work for this
month. There is a growing interest in ceramic sculpture and the quality of
Gaynor and Paul’s modelling is among the best. Their appeal is the character
which they give their subjects. Even two pieces which may look similar have a
different set of the eyes or a turn of the head. We are delighted to be
featuring their work again.
Rachel Wood has also been a regular exhibitor at Bevere. She is
currently in Australia undertaking a residency and before leaving, she has let
us have a group of pots which were a pleasure to unpack. The influence of
landscape is evident in texture and her colour palette. Although each pot
varies in scale and look well in groups, they individually command attention.
This is some of the best work we have had from Rachel, who is committed to
developing her craft and opening up new possibilities.

| Collection from Louise's green/frog range |
We will also be showing a new
collection from
Louise Darby
which
shows her decorating skills to great effect.
Gayle Ansell is just setting out on her ceramics career and we are
much taken with her saggar- fired dishes.
Pete Higgs has new pieces in too and he is developing a series based on natural
forms such as hazelnuts and conkers, in porcelain and raku.
The weather may not be anything
different, but you can be sure that the gallery will always have something new
and exciting to lighten the spirit.
