5 June - 3 July

Larkin Durey is delighted to present Tender Seedlings, a collection of works presented for Anina Major’s first solo exhibition at the gallery.  

Inspired by the poem Seedling by A. L. Major, the works consider how identity is formed through movement, memory, and transformation, as childhood nostalgia collides with adulthood realities and the self is shaped across distance from family, community, and country.

A new body of ceramic sculpture by Julia Ellen Lancaster where she introduces forms more readily recognisable as vessels, invoking both historical ceramic traditions and the proximity of the vessel form to the human body with its curves, feet and lips, particularly the female body. These forms operate as supports for metamorphosis, structures that hold the traces of transformation. Open Thursday – Sunday, 11am – 4pm or by appointment.

Klei welcomes St Ives based potter, Hamish Jackson, who spent his time for this exhibition exploring Cornwall's landscapes and geology, collecting clays and processing them for use in his pots.

In his own words; "Working with local materials connects me and the pots to this place. I love Cornwall, with its verdant valleys and rugged coastline. I have been loosening up my pots and pushing towards more enigmatic forms. I want my pots to retain a sense of the malleability of the clay."

26 June - 31 July

Bringing together ceramic sconces and wall pockets by the artists of Common Clay, The Walls Speak in Flowers celebrates the creative exchanges that shape a shared studio community.

Through the collection at Museum & Art Swindon, Beneath the Surface looks at the history of studio ceramics in Britain, from the early 1900s until today.  It examines the foundational ethos of studio ceramics, which placed beauty and practicality at the heart of everyday objects, and traces the evolution of clay as a contemporary art medium.  The exhibition highlights the fusion of innovative styles and techniques over the last century, and the porous boundaries between art and craft, breaking down limiting categories of fine art and craft items.
