A wonderful venue, two artists exhibiting.


Hilary LaForce:

Hilary LaForce works with stoneware and porcelain. Some of her pieces are coil built, others are created by slip casting and slab building. What stands out about her pieces is the use of volcanic and crystalline glazes, the latter creating some amazing colours and effects.

Mary Stenning:

Textile pieces inspired by landscape.













Inspired by the Tuscany landscape, this was my favourite, but too much reflection on the glass made this impossible to photograph.
