28th November – 31st January 2010 Jill Ford – ceramics
Contemporary porcelain thrown bowls and vases decorated using colour to focus on rich textural detailing. Jill's work explores the strength and delicacy of porcelain - rims of thrown forms are pinched extremely thinly to create sharp undulations, or hundreds of wafer thin layers of porcelain are modelled into shrub rose embellishments. A collection of statement jewellery features flat roses made from slivers of bone china set onto silver, their apparent fragility belies an inherent strength.
