Headington Artweeks - Ceramics

We have eight artist working in ceramics exhibiting this year in Headington as part of Oxfordshire Artweeks - ranging from functional to decorative and everything in between.

All Saints Artists - venue 302

This joint exhibition includes four ceramic offerings this year, from the following artists:




Trisha Drury is a well established ceramicist and fine artist. After graduating she worked in the fashion industry and as a graphic artist before moving into fine art and latterly ceramics. She is a skilled photographer and brings her experience from all these fields into her current work. Her sources are eclectic and range from the human form to the natural world.

 



Vivien initially trained as a biologist, working in plant sciences, as she has always liked plants and enjoy growing things. Her science background means that she asks lots of questions and enjoy the technical side of ceramics.  She believes that pots are made to brighten a home and to be used.


Robyn Hardyman - venue 307

Thrown porcelain and stoneware vessels and vases glazed with subtle tones and textures.



Art at St Andrew's - venue 311

Another collective exhibition that features, among other mediums, two artists working in ceramics:




Marieke makes delicate bowls, pots and accessories in porcelain and stoneware, using imprinting and bright and colourful glazes.


Kit Adlington - Venue 316

Kit makes thrown, functional, stoneware pottery, firing to 1260/1280C, producing pots which are attractive but also strong and hard-wearing. She is interested in shape, often basing work on the forms of English Medieval pottery.She is  constantly testing and experimenting with glazes, and produce interesting colours and effects by applying one glaze over another.
