I’ve arranged two informal talks to accompany the Print Press Fire Glaze exhibition.

Exploring what we don’t know
Vasu Reddy & Sarah Mander
Thursday 28th November 1pm – 1.30pm 

A conversation between Ceramicist Vasu Reddy and Printmaker Sarah Mander. Exploring the themes behind their work, the methods of producing their work and the various techniques and tricks they use to help when they get stuck. This will be an informal discussion with time for Q/As

Our Shared Passions
Ruth Barrett-Danes & Anton Page
Thursday 5th December 1pm – 1.30pm

An informal talk highlighting how rich the cross fertilisation is between ceramics and print with the many shared craft skills. Including a short ceramic demonstration and sample printing plates of works in the exhibition. 

Exhibition dates: Tuesday 26^th November – Sunday 8^th December 2024

Venue: Oxmarket Contemporary St Andrew’s Court, off East Street, Chichester, West Sussex PO19 1YH

It has been a personal goal of mine to put together a print and ceramics exhibition. I’ve developed an interest in the similarities between the two disciplines and wanted to curate an exhibition where the works have a definite dialogue with each other.

Visitors will see and be able to purchase original works by 16 Printmakers and 21 ceramicists from the south.
