Ceramics and Art Exhibitions in Worcester
Ceramics and Art Exhibition – September 2nd-30th – The Gallery at Bevere, Worcester
Escape and moving from place to place are the inspirations behind the works
of two of the UK’s leading potters exhibiting at The Gallery at Bevere,
Worcester from 2nd-30th September.
“THERE AND BACK” by JITKA PALMER
Escape is an ongoing theme for the work of Bristol based Jitka Palmer. This
exhibition features her latest distinctive work in clay and on paper.
Jitka was born Czechoslovakia, where she qualified as a doctor of medicine,
taught anatomy and set up her first studio. In 1985 she married an
Englishman. Jitka is a member of the Craft Potters Association and she
first studied ceramics at Croydon College of Art & Design, receiving a
Crafts Council Setting-up Grant to start her first studio in London in 1990.
She set up her current studio in Bristol in 1998. Her distinctive work was
on show at the Royal College of Art in London in March 2006. She lists a
large number of solo and group exhibitions in her CV, at home and abroad
including Paris and New York.
“EARTHENWARE, STONEWARE AND PORCELAIN” by ROGER LEWIS
Bradford-based ceramicist Roger Lewis creates decorative non-functional or
functional forms in earthenware, stoneware and porcelain. His hand built
bowls, dishes, vases, jugs, small planters, and containers constructed from
sheets of stoneware clay or porcelain can fulfill a utilitarian function but
are more often used as a focal point in an interior. Roger was a Lecturer/Senior
Lecturer in Ceramics at Bradford and Ilkley Community College from 1971-97 before
he became a full time ceramicist in 1997. He is a member of the Craft Potters
Association.
