At the end of the month we will be in London to open our first solo show. The exhibition is at Contemporary Ceramics . The Opening is February 28th (6 – 8 pm) and the exhibition closes on March 23rd.
Here are some of the pieces which will be exhibited.
I have always loved sgraffito as a decorative technique and seem to have a bit of a thing for zigzags. The jar on the right is an example of a kind of decoration that I call paperfold. Here are a couple more examples on bowls …
I find the fineness and precision of doing this kind of decoration totally absorbing and am intrigued by the potential for trompe l’oeil …
… but have also been enjoying experimenting with a much freer way of decorating …
You may have noticed that some of the above were made using darker clay … we also really like it under coloured, transparent glazes …
There are lots of smaller pieces, like teabowls …
and beakers …
and plenty of teapots (James is particularly fond of this little one).
I hope you’re tempted to visit our exhibition. If you can’t come in person, Contemporary Ceramics have an excellent selling website where all the pieces will be listed and going live shortly after the exhibition opens.
There’s also a lovely article about us in the current issue (326 March / April 2024) of Ceramic Review.
Thank you so much for subscribing, reading and taking an interest in our pots!

Beautiful, beautiful designs and so imaginative: will certainly look at the website when the exhibition opens, but only so sorry not to be able to go in person!
Thanks so much Jane, and I’m glad you like the work. I wouldn’t expect you to go – it is quite a trek from Llansadwrn! xTilla
