A FABULOUS LINE-UP OF WORK BY TOP MAKERS......
JANE COX makes earthenware tableware and large statement dishes and platters. She uses various making techniques and combines bold elegant forms with energetic, striking surface patterns. Working from London, Southern France and Jamaica, her work seeks to combine and express all these identities.
EDDIE CURTIS is currently working with two distinctively different clay bodies: porcelain for delicate simple statements; and a coarse gritty stoneware when he wants to convey more expressive, spirited ideas. Eddie enjoys using copper red glazes and firing his work in a large brick built kiln, which he constructed over 25 years ago. He says the kiln is noisy, intense and very exciting!
DAVID FRITH specialises in thrown, pressed or slabbed reduction stoneware. His pieces are individual, often on a large scale. David uses
celadons, ashes, and iron rich glazes combined with wax motifs, heavy overglazes and trailed pigments, plus the added gift of wood-firing!
MARGARET FRITH concentrates on making individual porcelain pieces, using a porcelain clay she has developed after years of experimentation. She uses various decorating techniques, including wax and layered glazes, freely drawn brushwork, ashed surfaces or celadon glazes over carved motifs.
RICHARD GODFREY works with a mixture of thrown and hand-built forms, decorated with the coloured slips that he has developed over the past 30 years. The inspiration for his work comes mostly from the coastline and countryside around his studio on the south Devonshire clifftops.
PAUL YOUNG makes a range of domestic and decorative earthenware with slip-trailed decoration. His work is thrown on a momentum wheel or hand-built, very often combining both techniques. Paul is inspired by European folk arts traditions and early English slipware.
