All the ceramics are hand-made; thrown on the wheel by Rupert Johnstone and then hand painted by Alice Hartford. The current range is fired at earthenware temperature. Colour is first applied using various clay slips. When the clay slip is drying, scraffito tools are used to incise lines through the colour and create specific designs…

Richards, Nicola
(view Gallery).
For many years I had been getting increasingly tired of the constraints of slip casting and glazing and had been searching for a freer way of working. Since 2000 two events have been central to my new way of working. A Jane Perryman five-day course and a trip to Malawi, working with Malawian potters, changed my whole outlook and presented me with a wealth of new possibilities…

Rogers, Phil
(view Gallery).
My work is divided approximately equally between two kilns. About half is Salt Glazed in a 60 cu.ft. kiln that is fired with propane gas and the other half in my old and trusted oil fired kiln of 75 cu.ft.
Salt Glazing is an exciting, but often less than predictable, method of firing pottery. As the kiln approaches the height of the firing the temperature has risen to a white hot 1260C…

Rossman, Fritz
(view Gallery).
In this exhibition he works with porcelain with a red slip, creating characteristic horizontal banding with contrasting glazed and unglazed areas.
His forms are decidedly contemporary, bearing little resemblance to any ceramic traditions.

Ruggiero, Nici
(view Gallery).
“Ambiguity surrounds my work, through which I strive to sensitively engage the viewer.
Thrown, altered and nurtured on the potter’s wheel or meticulously hand built using coils, my sculptural monochromic vessels are Raku fired and then left naked without glaze, only dressed by delicate decoration painted in smoke…
