Pots of talent at Ceramicus

Round & About

Members of Ceramicus are showcasing their skills in an exhibition at the Allen Gallery this month

Following on from their highly acclaimed exhibition in the City Space Gallery, Winchester earlier this year, Ceramicus is returning to the Allen Gallery in Church Street, Alton.  

The exhibition will run from Saturday, 4th October through until Friday, 31st October. Admission is free. This year the exhibition features individual ceramic works by 10 members of the group. A fascinating range of works in clay will be on display, showcasing diverse styles, skills and techniques. Works will be available to purchase and take away.  

Ceramicus is a group of potters based in the Surrey and Hampshire area who have come together to exhibit their work.  

This talented group covers a wide range of throwing, hand building and sculpting methods with various types of clay, followed by a wide spectrum of glazing and firing techniques. These range from the ancient art of wood burning kilns with natural ash glazes and the oriental “raku” methods to traditional gas fired processes using oxygen-starved atmospheres and modern electrically heated, electronically controlled kilns with oxidising conditions. The artists each have their own technique and show their individual expression of artistic form in their work.
