THE CURATOR'S VIEW

FEATURED MAKERS

February 2020

After our traditional opening of the year with the Annual Graduate Show  - which was very well received – it is now time to start the featured maker calendar for 2020.

I am delighted that we have Sharon Griffin opening the programme. She is one of a number of first time makers joining us at Bevere during this year. She is a skilled sculptural ceramicist primarily of the human form. She particularly seeks an underlying narrative so that one or more aspects of our lives will be evident in this remarkable work. We are also very pleased that she will be joining us for a Maker's Lunch when we can explore her inspiration and making processes. We have been particularly impressed with her distinctive approach and the quality of her work. Looking forward to seeing her exceptional pieces in the gallery.

Debbie Barber will be known to many of our visitors. She has shown her fine raku black and white pieces at Bevere before. She has been developing her work over the last year and we look forward to seeing the direction she is taking, however, we know that Debbie's recognisable voice will be sustained. We are particularly pleased that we will be setting her work alongside Sharon's sculpture – the contrast will lift the spirits I am sure.

The Graduate Show dominated the main Gallery space during January and now we will be reintroducing the wide range of ceramicists that we show here at Bevere. There will always be something new for you to see here.
