Rafael Perez

” My way of working is based on my personal “opened eyes” and “looking firstly” point of view. I try to transfer this sensation to my works, and I consider them good when opening the kiln I don’t recognise the pieces as mine and I get surprised. ” ~ Rafael Pérez 2012

Ruth Duckworth ( 1919 – 2009 ):

Ruth approached clay as a sculptor rather as a potter, and brought an aesthetic rigour to her refined vessel forms, figurative sculptures and installations. She helped shape a new way of thinking about ceramics in the second half of the 20th century, and was the recipient of many awards for her extraordinary contribution to the arts.

Shozo Michikawa :

Shozo Michikawa was born in Hokkaido, the most northern area of Japan. He initially had a career in business but took up evening classes in art where he discovered his talent and passion for pottery. A few years later in the 1970′s, Shozo made the decision to give up his life in business and to focus on creating ceramics.

In July 2005, Shozo was given the rare honour as being the first Japanese artist to have a solo exhibition of his art in The Forbidden City in Beijing.

He has widely exhibited in Japan and around the world, including the Philippines, Mongolia, France, China, New York and London.

Ewen Henderson :

For Henderson, “fluxed earth”, as he called clay, was capable of being stretched and teased into complex new forms. His construction methods produced objects with a multiplicity of colour and textures, edges and interior spaces. His mastery of form was based on his insights as a painter, and he always stressed drawing as the key to his three-dimensional achievements. In the late 80s, Henderson’s ceramics became more sculptural, and he largely abandoned the vessel in favour of intricate open structures – often monumental – investigating his interest in intersecting volumes, spaces, edges and contours: a three-dimensional development of Cubism.
