FEATURED ARTIST
PRISCILLA WATKINS’ oil paintings are meditations on a theme of light and water and how the experience of swimming removes us for a moment from normal life providing solace, peace and a chance for recovery. It’s worth a visit just to see these beautiful works but she also has a new collection of framed paperpool collages, more playful in tone with figures inspired by her beloved Brockwell Lido and by memories of wild and sea-swimming.
FEATURED ARTIST
GRACE BIRKETT KENRICK is an emerging studio potter who trained in Spain under traditional earthenware artesans in Barcelona, before completing a ceramics degree at the Escuela de Arte de Granada. She now works making functional stoneware ceramics on the potters wheel, firing in an electric kiln from her zero-waste garden studio in SW London.
She also teaches regular throwing and glaze development courses, with education and sustainability at the heart of her practice. Her approach to making is very much based in the materials themselves and glaze development is a big part of her process.
