I am now taking a break and planning exhibitions for autumn/winter 2025. Watch this space for news…

Here are some images from Salon Show 3 in Islington, April 2025

Matthew Richardson is an artist who works in ceramic and collage. He is interested in how things fragment through the passage of time - what is lost, what remains and what leaves a trace. The works are whimsical, sinuous and curious, with glaze and decoration that suggests English decorated tableware as well as studio pottery.

Emily Mitchell hand makes functional work with a high level of detail and finish, inspired by historic English ceramics and literature. Her aim is to create emotionally loaded ‘souvenir’ objects, often using text from poetry to suggest a narrative meaning for her work.

Helena Lacy is a London based ceramic maker who creates sculptural and functional ceramic artworks. Her pieces emulate nature’s patterns and use the kiln as a collaborator to embrace a degree of unpredictability. She sees some of her pieces as furniture, for example footstools and shelves, which have another life as sculpture.

Emily Stapleton Jefferis is an artist and educator who makes ceramic sculptures that relate to natural forms, in particular sea life and fungi. Through her work, she draws attention to the overlooked in natural forms, their beauty and strangeness. Her candelabra can be seen as purely sculptural as well as functional.
