As I mentioned last month
Richard Godfrey is providing the gallery with his stunning new
work. It is now with us and I am in no doubt that it will be one of a number of
delights for visitors to enjoy ion the coming months. What makes this new work
from Richard so special? I would say that all of the hall marks of his making -
design, draughtsmanship, colour sense, glazing and above all creative energy –
are brought together to produce individual works which are not easily
characterised. Essentially this is ceramic fine art; the work of an artist in
clay.
Her framed porcelain panels are distinctive and often
illustrate the everyday in an unexpected way. Wendy’s small group of work has
made an immediate impact on staff here and we believe that our visitors will be
equally delighted with these exceptional pieces.
David and Margaret Frith This is studio
ceramics of the highest order. I did say that our visitors this month would be
in for some special ceramic treats.
are exhibiting again
this month. They have been making pots for 50 years and yet they remain
inventive and endlessly creative. Sometimes we see long established potters
whose work is well made but sadly all too predictable. That can never be said
of the Frith’s.
Hiromi Nakajima
has been a popular ceramic sculptor whose work has been well received in recent
years. However, a young daughter and a change of address have impacted on her
production. She has now provided us with new work including hippopotamuses that
will raise a smile. Good to see her making again.
Putting up this month’s new work will be a joy and I hope that seeing it
in the sunshine -which continues to stream into the gallery this summer - will be something special.
