Inspired by many walks on the rugged Stiperstones\, or the Long Mynd\, imagery includes winter trees\, textures in nature\, birds in flight\, the rocks beneath the surface\, and the inclusion of sections on map\, rooting the work to the place it is inspired by. Ancient standing stones found scattered across the Shropshire and Welsh hills are echoed in the shapes of the ceramic pieces. \n“Utilising photography and ceramic printing techniques allows for photo realism to be combined with more abstract mark making to build up layers of images. Once screen-printed the clay can be stretched over molds\, the print can be distorted\, or small sections can be added or removed to create abstract patterns. The work is enhanced by the addition of glazes used in a painterly style. Through this ceramic artwork\, I am interested in conveying the peace and contemplative qualities which one can experience when immersed in the natural environment. I seek to enhance the qualities of porcelain and to reflect nature; the whiteness of a perfectly round pebble\, the seemingly scratched patterns found in stones and the smoothness of sea-worn shells inform the design and surface quality.” \nRuth has exhibited widely at international and national festivals\, taught at the University of Wolverhampton and has created brick and ceramic public art sculptures. \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n At this demonstration / workshop Ruth will talk about her inspiration and work and show us her screen-printing process/techniques\, culminating in a chance to have a go ourselves! \nThe workshop element will be carried out in pairs\, each working with an example screen provided by Ruth. You will need to bring along some basic equipment for the workshop activity\, including slab making equipment (rolling pin\, guides\, board or material)\, squeegee (or large rubber kidney)\, and protection for the table and floor. There may also be other optional items which we will tell you about ahead of the demonstration date. \nFurther details of her work can be seen on her website:  Ruth Gibson Ceramics \n \n \n \n \n \n Sunday 21st September 2025\n10:00 am – 4:00 pm.  Arrival from 09:30 am onwards\, \n£30 for SCG members and PACS Potters members and £40 for guests.  This includes costs for materials for the workshop (clay\, black underglaze\, etc). \nHerne Farm Leisure Centre\, Petersfield\, GU31 4PJ \nBookings should be made via the Southern Ceramic Group website.

Developed from traditional methods and disciplines Tanya has honed her skills over the last 15 years and uses dynamic throwing\, cutting and assembling techniques to create large cylindrical shapes. Impactful both individually and as a group\, her vessels create expressive\, vivid landscapes and fluid\, architectural forms. \n From years working on sailing yachts\, travelling the world and coastal living\, Tanya has absorbed the abstract qualities of colour and shape\, particularly at sea and uses this to inspire her art forms and evocative glazes. \n“My vessels and installations can look like they are flowing” says Gomez \n“Clay is contradictory like that. You’re using this beautiful soft material but to manipulate it my movements are directive\, strong and controlled”. \nAs a master in her craft\, Tanya’s contemporary and original work is recognised by the Arts Council and Craft Council of England. She has gained much acclaim exhibiting internationally and continues to evolve her style\, experimenting and pushing her practice and the boundaries of her craft. \nPlease book by using this link Demo by Tanya Gomez | Southern Ceramic Group URL:https://southernceramicgroup.org.uk/event/demonstration-by-tanya-gomez/ LOCATION:Herne Farm Leisure Centre\, Crundles\, Herne Farm\, Petersfield\, Hampshire\, GU31 4PJ\, United Kingdom END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;VALUE=DATE:20241126 DTEND;VALUE=DATE:20241209 DTSTAMP:20260417T080439 CREATED:20240930T073518Z LAST-MODIFIED:20241112T082948Z UID:24397-1732579200-1733702399@southernceramicgroup.org.uk SUMMARY:Print Press Fire Glaze - Oxmarket Contemporary DESCRIPTION:The Oxmarket Contemporary is delighted to bring together 16 printmakers and 21 ceramicists in a unique exhibition showing a diverse range of work. \nThese artists explore a shared visual language through both figurative and abstract themes. \nThe ceramicists are some of the most talented\, high-quality practitioners in The Southern Ceramic Group\, a well-established organisation with over 200 members. \nThe printmakers have been selected because of their outstanding skills and originality expressed through the various printmaking processes. \nThis beautifully crafted exhibition will demonstrate the best in printmaking and ceramics. \n  \n  URL:https://southernceramicgroup.org.uk/event/print-press-fire-glaze-oxmarket-contemporary/ LOCATION:Oxmarket Contemporary\, Chichester\, PO19 1YH\, United Kingdom END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=Europe/London:20241013T100000 DTEND;TZID=Europe/London:20241013T160000 DTSTAMP:20260417T080439 CREATED:20240807T183259Z LAST-MODIFIED:20240812T164211Z UID:23589-1728813600-1728835200@southernceramicgroup.org.uk SUMMARY:Mark Smith demo DESCRIPTION:Demonstration by Mark Smith\nWe are incredibly fortunate to welcome the talentedceramic artist\, Mark Smith\, who will be joining us on Sunday\, the 13thof October. \nThe demonstration will take place from 10 AM to 4 PM at the Herne FarmLeisure Centre\, just like our previous events.

He began his artistic journey with an Arts FoundationDiploma in 1990\, followed by an HND in Ceramic Design and Technologyin 1992. Mark’s early career saw him participating in the prestigiousCPA “Setting out” show at Marshall St\, London. By 1993\, he had becomea Licentiate member of the Designer Crafts Guild\, and in 1996\, heachieved the status of Professional member of the Craft PottersAssociation. \nMark’s work is based on a nostalgic representation of some of hisearliest memories of the sea. From the wildlife to the weather-worndecay of the architecture and the shipping industry\, old signage andweather-worn decay are key to bringing his sculptures to life. Heemphasizes the story-telling aspect of his work\, crossing betweenreality and fantasy. As a natural hoarder\, Mark’s recycle/upcycleelement stems from his fascination with old relics and unusualdesigns. He aims to reinvent objects and give them a new lease oflife\, highlighting the importance of recycling in today’senvironmental uncertainty. His clay elements mimic the aging process\,featuring ice cream colors\, rust\, and decay that complementweather-worn timber\, metals\, plastics\, beach finds\, and ceramics. \nMark’s work is known for bringing smiles to those who see it.

With an eye to creative flow\, carbon emissions and fuel costs\, she is keen to encourage others to take the plunge. \nSlip decorating techniques like inlay (mishima)\, paper transfer and sgraffito work well with raw glazes. During this talk and demo Julie will share examples\, recipes\, tips and some fun approaches to experimenting with raw glaze for the greatest chance of successful single firing. \nJulie Ayton (FRSA\, https://www.instagram.com/julie_ayton/ www.julieayton.com) \nVasu has sent the link out to registrants\, but is happy to send to other SCG members on request.

The members are as diverse as the objects they create. Some have spent a lifetime perfecting their craft while others have come to it only recently\, after careers ranging from engineering to medicine to dance and teaching. What they all share is intense creativity. During a year in which they have all been struggling to show their work\, they have been locked in their studios busy creating and experimenting. \nNow there is an opportunity to see – and buy –  the fruits of these labours as they bring their work to the group’s annual exhibition in the beautiful Old Kitchen in the Bishop’s Palace in Chichester: a real\, live and in-person exhibition-cum-sale! The work to be exhibited includes both traditional and experimental functional ware as well as sculptural and decorative pieces. You will find brightly coloured tableware\, subtle ash glazed vases\, stoneware bottles\, carved sculptures\, painted tiles and framed ceramic art for hanging on walls. The most striking thing about this exhibition is the enormous range of artefacts created from the same materials. \nThe exhibition will feature over 600 works from 60 potters who live and work locally. Don’t miss your opportunity to purchase work from some  exceptional local artists. \n  URL:https://southernceramicgroup.org.uk/event/bishops-kitchen-exhibition-2022/ LOCATION:Great Kitchen\, The Royal Chantry\, Cathedral Cloisters\, Chichester\, Hampshire\, PO19 1PX\, United Kingdom CATEGORIES:SCG Events ORGANIZER;CN="Vasu Reddy":MAILTO:vasureddyceramics@gmail.com END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=Europe/London:20220715T080000 DTEND;TZID=Europe/London:20220717T170000 DTSTAMP:20260417T080440 CREATED:20220323T151044Z LAST-MODIFIED:20220323T151044Z UID:12162-1657872000-1658077200@southernceramicgroup.org.uk SUMMARY:Celebrating Ceramics Festival DESCRIPTION:Presented by Craft In Focus in collaboration with Waterperry Gardens\, Celebrating Ceramics will be taking place from 15-17 July this year.

He initially studied fine art (painting) but turned to ceramics at Cardiff College of Art (1975-78) under Alan Barrett-Danes. His highly distinctive figurative ceramics draw inspiration from such diverse sources as Meissen figurines\, expressionist art and the gestural ceramics of Peter Voulkos. \n \nUsing a variety of ceramic techniques and materials including raku\, terracotta and porcelain\, his sculptures explore the dangerous nature of male/female relationships with suggestions of lust\, violence\, joy and ecstasy. \n \nMichael Flynn is a storyteller. One of those born hoarders of tales from the collective memories of all the cultures in time and space\, and the characters that inhabit them. He has rubbed shoulders with real artists and fictional characters through voracious reading; these have been absorbed\, mixed and combined through his imagination. \n \nHe is a compulsive communicator\, inventor\, and embroiderer of tales that take us out of the ordinary by reshaping and transforming them into fable. Ceramics is the language in which he constructs and articulates his stories. \n \nMike has a studio in Cardiff\, and spends parts of the year in Poland\, Germany or Austria\, where he works in artist residencies\, teaching and running workshops.  His work is exhibited (and sold) world wide.  He is author of “Ceramic Figures: A Directory of Artists”\, A & C Black\, 2002. He received a Creative Wales Award in 2008. \nFor more images: www.flickr.com/photos/mchaelflynnceramics \nThe SCG AGM will take place during the lunch break (agenda to follow) \nCatering arrangements: Coffee\, tea and biscuits will be available on the day.  Please bring a contribution to an American Supper style lunch\, as well as your own crockery and\ncutlery \nTo register\, please fill in the registration form by clicking on the image below:- URL:https://southernceramicgroup.org.uk/event/scg-agm-and-january-demonstration-by-mike-flynn/ LOCATION:Portchester Community Centre\, Westlands Grove\, Fareham\, Hampshire\, PO16 9AD\, United Kingdom END:VEVENT END:VCALENDAR
