Exhibitions for 2023
An Exhibition of Ceramics
by Ant and Di Edmonds
(Tydd Pottery)
Friday 26th May (preview evening)
to
Tuesday 13th June
2023
We're excited to be holding an exhibition of the work produced by Ant and Di Edmonds- the names behind 'Tydd Pottery'
For 50 years they have been perfecting their beautiful craft.
starting originally with terra cotta garden pots they turned to domestic pottery using majolica techniques with blue designs painted onto a white opaque glaze.
Their latest work sees them dispensing with the potter's wheel and making hand-built vessels, often decorated with geometric patterns.
To put these patterns onto a 3D surface they must be outlined in soft pencil and then completed with black stain to create the complex designs. The vessel then has a second firing followed by a wax polish.
The vessels are individual and each one takes hundreds of hours to complete. The process results in objects of spectacular beauty.
