Colours in Conversation | London Craft Week | 11 - 16 May 2026
Summer has come early to the gallery, thanks to a bolt of colour from our eight makers taking part in our London Craft Week exhibition, Colours in Conversation. Join us for a late opening at the gallery this evening, until 7pm!
Sarah Emily Porter's bold, colour-led pieces balance order and chance, with acrylic paint flowing freely across the rigid geometry of stitched cloth.
In Emma Baker's handblown glass, colour is held in suspension. Her Distortion series is a new exploration into the characteristics of glass, emerging from experimentation with positive and negative space.

Join us this week for our latest show, Colours in Conversation, which features the work of eight makers exploring colour as a language of emotion.
Jaeeun Kim's work is characterised by themes such as shelter, distance, memory, and quiet observation, expressed through a painterly application of glazes and a whimsical cast of recurring characters, such as cats and birds.
Ömer Öner takes a collage approach to his chosen medium, transforming found objects into ceramic assemblages that are unified by bold colour and the soft, smooth surface of porcelain.
See these pieces and more in Colours in Conversation, until Saturday 16 May.

Join us this week for our London Craft Week show, Colours in Conversation, which transforms the gallery into a rainbow of colour.
In joyous shades of turquoise and green, Carol Sinclair's latest series of porcelain vessels and plates references the artistic and social movement Solarpunk, which envisions a sustainable, optimistic future where humanity lives in harmony with nature.
Sarah Packington transforms the graphic patterns and bright hues of mid-century textiles by designers such as Lucienne Day into wearable acrylic jewellery that brings a pop of colour to every outfit.

Earth & Fire: Five Voices in Clay, until 30 April 2026
Walter Keeler has gained an international reputation for his salt-glazed ceramics, which reflect both his deep knowledge of British ceramics history and his appreciation for the sensorial delights of clay as a medium.
Walter Keeler is a British studio potter and was professor of Ceramics at the University of the West of England from 1994 to 2002. Keeler was born in London and attended Harrow School of Art, London, from 1958 until 1963, where he was trained by Michael Casson. He established his first pottery at Bledlow Bridge, Buckinghamshire, in 1965, and in 1976 he moved his studio to Penallt, Wales, where he lives with his wife Madoline. Writer Oliver Watson described him as 'one of the most important and influential potters of the 1980s'.
Keeler's work is held in a number of public collections including Victoria & Albert Museum, National Museum Wales, American Craft Museum, New York, Los Angeles County Museum of Art, Museum of Fine Arts, Houston, USA and the Museum of Modern Art, Tokyo.
See Walter Keeler's work in 'Earth & Fire: Five Voices in Clay', on view in the gallery and online until 30th April.
Earth & Fire: Five Voices in Clay, until 30 April 2026
All of Steve Dixon's works are hand-built in white earthenware with a maiolica glaze, employing layering and collaging of transfer-printed imagery to reflect on the social and political issues of our times. Images and themes are widely sourced from classical mythology, biblical narratives and renaissance allegories, and processed through drawing and print using a Ricoh digital ceramic transfer printer.
In this plate, Donald Trump is depicted as the Roman Emperor Augustus, who was responsible for replacing the Roman Republic with an authoritarian dictatorship.

Robert Cooper is fascinated by the persistence of artefacts and ideas. He often uses found objects, such as pottery shards from the Thames foreshore, in a collage way as a starting point for his work. Historical objects spark ideas and Cooper is interested in the juxtaposition of contemporary ideas with the past, updating, upcycling and acknowledging story telling through surface pattern, surfaces and imagery.
Robert Cooper says of his work "I have a collage approach to my working, information collecting and feelings. I work with clay slabs, a diverse image store and different ways of constructing narratives. Colour, texture and mark making come together to evolve a personal take on modern living. I give clues to questions of function and contemporary issues, but, in all, I respond in the moment to what clay can give and the ideas that surface. I work with white stoneware clay, firing to stoneware and earthenware temperatures and applying at each stage of making; texture, colour, glazes, ceramic transfers and lustres".
See Robert Cooper's work in 'Earth & Fire: Five Voices in Clay', on view in the gallery and online until 30th April.

Please join us this evening at the gallery for the opening of Earth & Fire: Five Voices in Clay, a new group show featuring five of the most respected ceramicists working in the UK today.
Rooted in the ancient dialogue between earth and flame, the exhibition brings together five distinct artistic voices. Each artist transforms clay into vessels, sculptural forms, and material narratives that reflect personal, cultural, and contemporary perspectives. From refined craftsmanship to experimental surfaces and bold sculptural gestures, the works reveal the versatility and enduring relevance of ceramics as an art form.
Featuring new work by:
Robert Cooper, Steve Dixon, Akiko Hirai, Walter Keeler and Chris Keenan
