| | WINTER RESIDENCYWe opened this year with our six-week winter residency programme. We hosted ceramic artists from Denmark, the Netherlands, Germany, Canada, New Zealand and the United States of America. Each artist worked on their own project, using a different formal language.
The artworks have been shaped by experimentation, new thoughts and cultural influences. The time that has been spent here ended with a pop-up exhibition of works made during the residency. ▶︎ See Facebook images HERE | | | |
