Kate creates sculptural vessels which explore the transformational nature of time on human experience. Her practice involves a continuous investigation of structure and surface, with particular emphasis on ceramic materials, fragmentation and transfiguration. Kate’s making process consists of the tearing, breaking and joining of clay to create organic forms with undulating edges, fault lines and fissures.
Chris Keenan has been making pots for almost twenty-five years. Thrown and turned by hand on the wheel using Limoges porcelain, he specialises in pieces for interior spaces – designed for functional use and for decoration.
Paul Priest is a sculptor known for his animal works drawing on both domestic and wildlife subjects. His work has been exhibited around the world and is represented in numerous galleries, public and private collections in the UK and overseas. The animals and mythical figures he creates vary widely, reflecting both the breadth of his subjects and the continued demand for the work.
Erum entered ceramics through an unconventional path, beginning her professional life as a physicist before transitioning into a creative practice. While she later received formal ceramic training, much of her development has been self-directed, allowing her to integrate scientific observation with material exploration.
Prue is a member of the Art Workers’ Guild, where she was Master in 2014. Her work sells widely, in the UK, USA and Japan, and she has been given numerous solo shows. Prue makes press-moulded earthenware dishes, decorated with quotations and images illustrating the ways of the world – witty, friendly or subversive.
