Greg Crowe
Described by a fellow potter as being a “beard and overalls” practitioner Greg has neither item! However his uncompromising adherence and interest in the traditions of woodfiring, local clays, salt and shino glazing produce great textural, weathered and interesting random effects on equally strong bold forms. |

Robyn Lees (see also Gallery)
Unique representations of bold and beautiful female forms. Robyn uses the wheel and sculptural techniques in a range of teapots, wine jugs, milk jugs, wall vases and flamboyant decorative pieces featuring her (oh so!) “bowled” ladies in various guises……………………there is a serious philosophical underpinning to these representations of the stereotypical woman as both beautiful and functional.

As the landscape which inspires him is 3 dimensional Len has chosen to work in clay to capture the dimensions of rock form and ocean on which he bases his sculptural froms. Proceeding to mostly brilliant torquoise and blue glazing effects the vibrancy of the southern seascape is captured.
