My ceramic sculpture ‘Four Thousand, Six Hundred and Sixty-Eight’ has been chosen by Ferens Art Gallery for their 2022 Open Exhibition.

It's with great regret that we’re having to cancel this years MADE LONDON.

It's not directly related to Covid but very much an indirect result of the Pandemic.

The venue has changed considerably since we were last there with all the outside space being developed by 'covid safe' initiatives - Tel Aviv style bar/restaurant (in a large heated tent), Private Dining (in individual greenhouse pods) a bar and seating on the forecourt and a new concierge and a florist in huts on the forecourt. This meant that there is now no vehicular access at the front of the building. It also meant that our stand contractors were unwilling to build the show this year and as most of the shows that were cancelled because of the spring lockdown have rescheduled to the Autumn the remaining contractors who have survived the past 18 months are too busy to fill in. So with a more difficult venue, no stand contractors and still some doubt over whether customers will be happy to travel to London in sufficient numbers to make the show worthwhile for us all, we have taken the difficult decision to cancel.

There will still be a MADELONDON show online 5th - 7th November.

Unfortunately the event has had to be cancelled for the second year running. I was so looking forward to my first show where I could meet some of you, but the organiser felt this was the best thing to so in the circumstances.

However, this will mean I can focus more on online exhibitions for this time of year, as well as preparing for MADE LONDON Marylebone in November.

My ceramic sculptures ‘Two Thousand, Eight Hundred and Twenty’ and ‘Three Thousand and Seventy- Two’ have been chosen by Ferens Art Gallery for their 2021 Open Exhibition.

I was so excited to be exhibiting at Made London 2020, however the event has been postponed to November 2021, and this year’s event will still be held virtually.

See my Made London collection here:

“Clay: A Festival of Ceramics is already the biggest celebration of ceramics in the South West and in 2020, the event's 4th year, it's about to get even bigger with the event running over 2 days, September 25th & 26th at Exeter Race Course.”

The physical event has been postponed to 2021, but a virtual event will take it’s place.

“Welcome to our fundraising draw where you’ll have the chance to win one of 40 stunning handmade pots, vessels and sculptures from some of the top makers in the UK.

Each £2 National Pottery Lottery ticket gives you the chance to win a prize. You can buy as few or as many tickets as you choose. Obviously the more tickets you have, the more chances you have to win.

The funds will be used to compensate the exhibitors taking part and the organiser for loss of income after shows have been cancelled and galleries closed this year. It’s tough times for the arts and for large scale events right now, this will help us to keep going until we can run events in real life again, so thank you so much for your support.”

My miniature ivory vase with 24 ct gold lustre detail worth £55 is one of the prizes up for grabs!

This year’s Open Exhibition at Ferens was sadly cut short due to covid, but the show is now available to see online:

“Each year our Open Exhibition provides an exciting opportunity for amateur and professional artists to celebrate creativity side by side in the Ferens Art Gallery’s beautiful temporary exhibition spaces. The display often includes a truly diverse selection of artworks in a variety of styles and media, many of which are also for sale, allowing visitors to purchase original artworks at a range of prices.

The 2020 Open is Ferens’ 53rd annual Open Exhibition, which celebrates some of the best artistic talent in the region.The exhibition features more than 370 artworks including paintings, sculptures, photography, ceramics, textiles and film produced by local amateur and professional artists.

This year’s exhibited works were selected by a panel of judges consisting of visual artist Graham Dean, whose artwork is represented in the Ferens permanent collection, freelance curator Angela Kingston and Kenn Taylor, creative director at Artlink.

The exhibition is sponsored by the Friends of the Ferens and BSB Architecture.”
