Adopt a Potter presented by Lisa Hammond
Founded in 2009, the original idea for the Trust came from an
experienced potter – Lisa Hammond – who has a tradition of taking
apprentices at her studio in London. Some of these apprentices have
become well recognised potters in their own right.
It takes years to train a studio potter. Unfortunately, many art
colleges are finding it difficult to offer throwing in any meaningful
way, so it is more important than ever for a student wishing to make
functional and studio pots to have the opportunity of an apprenticeship
with an experienced professional potter.
New Book: The Uncommon Denominator: A Tribute to Richard Hirsch
The Uncommon Denominator: A Tribute to Richard Hirsch presents
a spectrum of aesthetic eloquence and technical mastery in the ceramic
arts. The traveling exhibition and accompanying catalog celebrate the
career of Richard Hirsch through the work of a selection of his alumni.
Hirsch has achieved professional recognition both as a ceramic artist
and teacher.
During his teaching career, which has spanned over thirty years, he
has been a faculty member of two prominent craft programs: the Program
in Artisanry at Boston University, and currently, the School for
American Crafts at Rochester Institute of Technology. Many of Hirsch’s
former students have established their own outstanding careers in the
contemporary ceramics field. Represented in The Uncommon Denominator are
notable examples of the renaissance in utilitarian pottery, continued
interest in the vessel aesthetic, and the investigation of both
figurative and abstract sculpture.

Matthew Harris & Tim Rowan exhibition at Erskine, Hall & Coe
Matthew Harris & Tim Rowan exhibition opens on Wednesday,
the 20th of February and runs through the 20th of March 2013. This
exhibition aims to explore the fascinating interplay between mixed media
on paper and ceramics by offering an exceptional selection of 24 new
works on paper by Matthew Harris and nearly 40 ceramic sculptures by Tim
Rowan.
Harris has focused his art to textiles and for the past ten years has
made and exhibited drawings and works on paper. He is based in Stroud
and continues to make work that is concerned with abstract imagery and
the translation of drawn marks into cloth, achieved by a process of
dying, cutting and hand stitching. Tim Rowan comes from New York and
currently works in the Hudson Valley. He produces boxes, bowls and
sculptures in woodfired stoneware and native clay.
The
show invites viewers to explore the relationship between the stunning
work of these artists, and will be open to visitors Monday through
Saturday, 10:00am – 6:00pm. There is no admission fee to attend our
show.
