Art What’s On

Detail

This exhibition looks at how 20th-century British ceramicists used drawing, painting and mark-making to transform the surface of clay. The exhibition features over 70 works, highlighting the exceptional quality and range of the Shipley’s collections with ceramics by Bernard Leach, Michael Cardew, Lucie Rie, Hans Coper, James Tower, Gordon Baldwin, Carol McNicoll, Alison Britton, Stephen Dixon and Philip Eglin, alongside paintings and prints from the Hatton’s collection by Patrick Heron, William Scott, Adrian Heath and Victor Pasmore. The exhibition will include key works on loan from the Laing Art Gallery such as a vase by Elizabeth Fritsch and a still life by Winifred Nicholson.
