Formations in Clay Furniture' is the latest exhibition from County Hall Pottery, a ceramics gallery and pottery studio opened in 2024. The collection showcases diverse works from seven celebrated artists, each of whom produce large-scale functional ceramic pieces and are fascinated by the limitless potential of clay.
The exhibition invites viewers to consider how they interact with ceramics in everyday life, as a material used for a variety of functions such as in sinks and disc brakes. Subverting the idea of what we imagine should be mass produced, it instead presents the possibilities, variety and beauty of creation by hand. Through its exploration of texture and the intersection of art, craft, and design, Formations in Clay Furniture reveals the ingenious techniques each artist employs, as they infuse moments of joy and surprise into the mundane. The seven artists include Elliot Denny, Giles Watkins, Emma Louise Payne, Ciara Neufeldt, Zayana Patel, Attua Aparicio & Gerald Mak, ranging from recent RCA graduates to those with established practices. When brought together they represent a burgeoning trend in clay-based furniture design and remind us that ceramics are something we interact with daily.
