London Design Week – Ceramics in the City exhibition at Geffrye Museum

Porcelain vessel, Tony Laverick

The Ceramics in the City exhibition returns to the Geffrye Museum this month as part of London Design Week.

The show will bring together over 50 potters from around the country, with a mix of both leading names and rising talents.

A wide range of work will be on sale, from classic tableware and other functional domestic objects to purely decorative and quirky one-off pieces, showcasing a wide variety of techniques, styles, textures and colour.

Delicate, thrown porcelain will be displayed alongside earthy stoneware and imaginative hand-built pieces.  Cool white glazes will provide contrast to colourful painted vessels.  Prices will range from £10 for mugs and small objects to several hundred pounds for large-scale work.

The show will take place in the museum’s contemporary gallery. Throughout the fair, visitors will have the opportunity not just to browse and buy, but also to meet the makers and watch free demonstrations.

There will be a special evening opening on Thursday 20 September from 6 – 8.30pm, when the restaurant will remain open serving drinks and snacks.  Craft activities will be run to entertain children on Saturday the 22nd and Sunday the 23rd.
