Craft in the bay

Craft in the Bay is wonderful: they sell all sorts of crafts, but for me, it's the ceramics. This was my fourth visit (we always visit when we go to Cardiff). I love browsing here, and occasionally buying. I have seen work by unknown potters here, who a few years later have become well-known nationally and sought after.

Paul Taylor:

Most of his work is slab built in terracotta, but some of the smaller pieces are slipcast. Each piece is then decorated with a variety of coloured slips.

Jodie Neale:

Most of Neale's work is wheel thrown and raku fired. When working on her burnished pottery Neale applies horsehair and feathers to the heated pots to create delicate carbon trails and smoke patterns.

Beate Gegenwart:

Beate Gegenwart, (vitreous enamel on steel, sgraffito)

Kim Colebrook:

Blocks of porcelain layered with black onyx porcelain and various iron oxides, in a loose Nerikomi style. Colebrook cuts, rolls and carves sections of clay into forms that show the layers.
