Edmund De Waal, 1000 hours



Alan Cristea Gallery is pleased to present a thousand hours, an exhibition of 11 new ceramic installations by Edmund de Waal which will be shown at 31 & 34 Cork Street from 6 October until 10 November 2012.

1000 thrown porcelain vessels, some glazed in celadon and white, some unglazed, within a pair of aluminium vitrines with transparent and translucent acrylic
Each vitrine 243.5 × 75 × 210 cm
 Overall dimensions 243.5 × 210 × 210 cm


I love Edmund De Waal, there I admit it. He is just the best !
He is subtle, quiet, calm while producing work that is powerful and grand (in a subtle kind of way), always the same and always different ...he is a naturally sophisticated potter (in an unpretenscious, subtle, quiet, calm kind of way )
WOW!

Contemporary Tableware , by Linda Bloomfield

Contemporary Tableware , by Linda Bloomfield


Available from January 2013

Tableware has occupied a special place in our kitchens and dining rooms for thousands of years, and continues to enchant us today. Ranging from the purely functional to the fine and delicate, the evolution of domestic pots tells us much about our changing tastes and habits, and the wider art and cultural movements that have influenced their decoration and forms. In Contemporary Tableware, maker Linda Bloomfield looks at the history of the pots on our tables, from Sung Chinese and Medieval English ware to the revival of studio pottery and the influence of Scandinavian, American and Japanese design. She goes on to examine common forms in contemporary tableware, including teapots, bowls, cups, jugs and plates, and to explain the elements of form, function and beauty in each. Lavishly illustrated with examples from contemporary studio pottery and industry, as well as making images from working potters, this book is the essential guide to modern tableware for potters, designers and buyers

When I Woke, ceramics in Wales

Sophie Woodrow
Taking its title from the evocative poem by Dylan Thomas, ‘When I Woke’ explores the human condition. Curated by Claire Curneen and Lowri Davies ‘When I woke’ will feature work by Sam Bakewell, Audrius Janušonis, James Page, Lina Peterson, Tamsin Van Essen and Sophie Woodrow and examine the themes of life, death, sorrow and myth as seen through the eyes of these international makers.

until the 17th of November
Dylan Thomas once claimed "I hold a beast, an angel, and a madman in me, and my enquiry is as to their working, and my problem is their subjugation and victory, downthrow and upheaval, and my effort is their self-expression"


We are delighted to present these artists of national and international standing at Llantarnam Grange Arts Centre and hope that When I Woke will challenge the viewer to engage with an idea that can stimulate passionate conversation and debate.
