The change of makers each month is coming around
with extraordinary speed, or is this just the perception of an ageing curator? Nevertheless,
we have an exciting mix of styles and making techniques that will hopefully maintain
your interest in what is happening at Bevere and in the world of studio
ceramics.
Hyu
Jin Jo was at Bevere the first time in one of our Graduate Shows
– her work was certainly highly regarded then. Now living and working in South
Korea, she has built on her well-developed skill base to produce work which
combines the contemporary with the traditional oriental. There is a simple
elegance of design underpinned by her evident making skills. This is work which
will sit comfortably in any context - always an indicator of good design. Delighted
to be showing her work here again. 
Lara
Scobie will be known for her previous shows here. Based in
Scotland, this skilled maker in porcelain has high level design and decorating
skills which give her work such a distinctive voice. She often uses simple line
drawing to exceptional effect. For her, it is the balance between
composition and form, absence and presence, that offers some of the most
exciting opportunities for expressing her creative voice.
Add to these the range and diversity of other makers
in the gallery and as always it should be an enriching experience.
