    For the past 38 years we have been championing contemporary craft in the vibrant city of Leeds to shine a spotlight on independent makers and their small businesses from across Yorkshire and the rest of the UK.  Through an exciting seasonal exhibition programme we highlight the skills behind handmade and share their inspiring stories.  Bringing these amazing collections of contemporary craft together under one roof has created a haven for many visitors to escape the stresses of daily life & create mindful experiences.  Please help us keep the gallery and the hundreds of small businesses we support alive by donating what you can so we can continue to keep bringing the very best of contemporary craft to you and help us and these creative industries thrive.

    Please click on the donate button to donate what you can.  Thank you so much!

    Jane Pritchard

    Solo Ceramic Showcase

     

     

    Jane Pritchard is a ceramicist living and working in High Wycombe, Buckinghamshire.  She originally trained as a graphic designer but then changed careers taking an MA in Ceramics (UCA Farnham) in 2011.

     

    Her current range of work centres on the theme of Renewal and how our environment (both built and natural) changes with the passage of time; also how 'new' contrasts with 'old' – for example,  smooth, white surfaces against textured, dirty – and enhances both.  A recent, controversial, renovation of El Castillo de Matrera in Cadiz exemplifies this.

    The pieces above were inspired by a recent visit to the Palacio da Pena in Sintra, Portugal. They are handmade from porcelain with copper, cobalt, iron and manganese oxides.
