Modern Classics by Paul Philp

Paul Philp

Thursday 9th July - Saturday 25th July 2020

Paul Philp unites refined classic forms with highly tactile surfaces to create pieces of strong individual identity.

Working from his studio in Bath, he slowly develops these robust, pared-back shapes using coiling, modelling, carving and other hand-building techniques. The vessels are fired no less than four times, with layers of slips and oxides introduced at each stage, to yield subtly eroded and spotted surfaces. Recalling ancient artifacts and geological textures, the works evoke a feeling of serenity.

The works on show reveal the maker’s pursuit of modernising the classic vessel form.

We welcome to our online gallery this reputable and influential ceramist, whose work reflects more than 25 years of evolution and artistry.

Anna Lambert: New Work

Anna Lambert
Thursday 3rd April - Saturday 26th April 2025

‘I build up the surfaces of my pieces spontaneously, riffing on ideas of space, narrative and joy. I get to a point where I can push things a bit, hoping something exciting will happen – and sometimes it does.’

Paul Jackson & Richard Phethean: New Work

Paul Jackson, Richard Phethean
Thursday 26th June - Saturday 19th July 2025

The driving force behind all of Paul Jackson’s
highly decorated work is a desire to express
his Cornish surroundings, with their strong
sense of colour and style. Paul uses white
earthenware to form energetic vessels
which are then decorated with colourful
and painterly abstract decorative motifs,
some influenced by Russian or Islamic art.

Richard Phethean makes ceramics
using coarse textured red and black
earthenware clays referencing
ancient pottery as well as European
slipware traditions. Richard utilises
brush and resist techniques to create
cubist‑inspired abstractions that adorn
both his domestic vessels and altered
and assembled forms.
