Featuring ceramics from the Pallant House Gallery collection, the exhibition will follow the evolution of British studio pottery, showing the tactile and expressive qualities of clay. It will present a range of makers who represent the rich cultural tradition of the medium and practice.
The exhibition will span the work of leading British potters. It will look at Bernard Leach and his apprentices at the Leach Pottery in St Ives in the 1920s and ‘30s, including Michael Cardew, Norah Braden and Katherine Pleydell-Bouverie. It will examine the post-war modernity of European émigrés, such as Lucie Rie and Hans Coper, and their contemporaries Ewen Henderson and James Tower.
