Excellent, intricate exhibition at The Ashmoleon in Oxford. Great thread running through showing how smoother lines with more fluidity slowly crept in to art practices as they began to step away from the very precise in the traditional style of painting, right up to the Modernist style we all know so well.

Sadly, whilst the exhibition is incredibly well supported, the images are simply not available online so only a few to share here.

One of the most inspirational trips I think I’ve ever been on.

The clean lines, the colour combinations, the textures, the skills, the craftsmanship, all used to create beautiful piece after beautiful piece. An amazing collection held within the museum, and fascinating to see the different components being carefully assembled, decorated, and embellished within the factory. I will be visiting again and again as it just fed my ideas and reaffirmed my passion for ceramic ware. There’s just so much potential with such simple techniques, but the skill level of the factory workers was astounding.
