Rest in Peace John Reeve
John Reeve passed away yesterday.
Born in 1929 in Ontario, Canada apprenticed with Bernard Leach in England 1958 to 1961.
“I make pots, and am forever fascinated by forms in space, by the way
that potters (including myself) make things with their hands, by the
subsequent use of pottery in the ordinary and extraordinary ceremonies
of living”.

Featured Masters:
Paul Mathieu (Canada)
His work in ceramics uses function and decoration as concepts
to explore the specificity of ceramics within art and culture.
Altogether art, design, media and crafts, the works contest and subvert
these categories to show their irrelevancy, ultimately.
Márta Nagy (Hungary)
Márta Nagy works within themes, and her
symbolically-charged art is characterized by a diversity in form and
decoration. Márta Nagy uses snow-white Hungarian porcelain and
red-firing chamotte clay. Almost always she combines the two. She
handbuilds her sculptures. The techniques she uses to colour her works
are various: metal oxide, coloured clay, lustre glaze, gold and silver
leaf. The combination of hese exceptional colourings are Nagy’s
signature; combined with the unpredictable forms they present a very
personal and unique work.
