In just a short period of time we’ve seen a meteoric rise in the status of studio pottery. Today, ceramic is a go-to material for expressive designers and ceramicists alike. Crowd Pleaser (People Who Pot) brings together works by a wide range of these makers in a riotous celebration of contemporary studio pottery. The show at MDR Gallery will demonstrate the profusion and range of work currently being made at this point of ‘peak ceramic’.
