Does It Pour? An exhibition of contemporary functional ceramics 13th May - 22nd July 2000 |
|
 |
From sturdy, solid eminently functional pots with a wipe clean glaze to quirky pots that appear to be non-functional but come alive when used. We intend to investigate the concept of function through a selection of contemporary pots that invite use and promise to be a source of daily pleasure. |
 |
We have invited eighteen makers who express a fine understanding of form and function. With an emphasis on origination rather than surface decoration the makers are concerned with aspects such as the proportion, the dualities of purpose and the feel and weight of an object. Consequently producing innovative ceramics that suggest function but are open to adaptation according to our flexible lifestyles. |
 |
Some utilitarian items have become casualities of the dining revolution, however the objects on display have a functional yet elegant philosophy, they can fulfil many different uses, meet so many practical needs and still remain beautiful objects in their own right. |
|
The exhibition opens Saturday 13th May, when refreshments will be served and some designers will be present from 12.00 - 3.00pm and runs until until Saturday 22nd July. |
