This tableware can adapt and ‘multifunction’ to suit contemporary living. The cup has been integrated with the saucer and therefore can stack on top of another. The small cream jug can function as a lid to the sugar pot to become a tidy set.Louisa Taylor

“I find the natural textures and tactile qualities of the naked clay most seductive therefore I keep my glazing simple in colour and often dry. The magic in making happens for me when a pot is freshly thrown. It fascinates me to alter and transform a thrown form, capturing the energy and movement within. Natural formations interest me but predominantly it is my own personal experimentation with the plastic quailities of the clay and the wheel process which lead me to question, contemplate, resolve and create.”Karen Morgan

The attention is focused on functional wares: the throwing wheel is the major tool  used to produce them. The porcelain is soft, warm, responsive to the  touch, and playful to the  imagination. Following my intuition and his own personal sense of beauty,Sun Kim tried to find balance and stability in his pots.

This pots are made to be used and enjoyed in domestic life. The bowl remains the form where subtleties of line are most elusive and consequently most rewarding when successful. The work is thrown Limoges porcelain, glazed using combinations of tenmoku and celadon and reduction-fired in a gas kiln.Chris Keenan

Graham’s work currently consists of small batch production and individual functional tableware pieces informed by a strong interest in both ancient and contemporary ceramics and manmade patterns, textures and colours across local landscapes.  Pieces are kept simple, unfussy and contemporary, the intention is for them to be both visually appealing and a pleasure to handle and use. Current pieces are slip-cast and altered or thrown, in a Semi-Porcelain body. Graham Hudson

Elke’s fabulously dinky pieces of stoneware seem to have come straight from Alice’s enchanted Wonderland. Finding – Collecting – Keeping – Accumulating – Re-mixing – Alienating – Confusing. A kind of surrealistic collage emerges as she works.Elke Eder-Eich
