Peter HayesTime and Nature in Raku

9 A u g u s t - 2 0 S e p t e m b e r

Peter Hayes is interested in

- why and how ‘things’ are

made of clay.

One of the major introductions

he had to ceramics was digging

Neolithic Iron Age and Roman

Samien shards on archaeological

digs somewhere in Wales while

trying to survive as an art student in

Birmingham. He is drawn to shapes

of artefacts and objects from other

cultures and other times, but that

remain timeless.

Erosion and change through time

and nature are recorded in a piece.

Peter’s work is not to compete with nature; but for the work to evolve within

the environment. The minerals, like iron and copper, that he introduces into

the ‘Raku’ ceramic surface have their affect on the clay during the time

they are submerged in the river or the sea. This erosion process continues

with sanding so that the texture and cracks do not interrupt the surface but

become an organic, integral part of the patina.

Each individual piece takes on its own developing surface; its own history and

its aesthetic.

Janet Crook Winner of the Surrey Artists of the Year 2013 competition

Janet Crook is interested in movement.

She makes small automations out

of found objects, which she then

develops into ceramic in an effort

to make them last in curious hands.

Janet uses simple movements of nodding

weighted heads on animals, or wings on fairies

from knitted wire. She is still experimenting with

other more complicated movements and is

keen to see what the next firing will bring.

After studying animation, Janet has

shown at the British Film Festival (1987)

and at the BAFTA awards in 1986. Janet

has also exhibited at Tate Gallery and

has written music video story boards for

bands such as Madness and Dire Straits.

Creating ceramic figures seemed like a

natural progression from those models

she made in her film production years.

Maker in FocusJanine PartingtonJanine combines the traditional craft of enameling with fresh,

contemporary designs.

Enameling is the art of fusing glass onto metal. It is a versatile, durable, strong

and impervious material which is well-suited for every room in the home or

workspace from kitchen to bathroom, from washroom to boardroom.

Janine takes inspiration from the shape of things around her such as trees,

flowers, leaves and seed heads. Exploiting the sensitive relationship between

the copper and enamel is at the heart of her work. She is constantly playing

with the materials, seeing where they can take her.
