"Craft in The Bay sits in an invitingly spacious position over looking the Bay itself, on the landward approach; on entering the atmosphere is relaxed and welcoming. A vast array of original and top quality crafts and arts is laid out, each collection with information about the creator; there is no pressure as you wander around at will.... On view are objects from small to sizeable, on sale for prices to match, staff are on hand to help and answer questions. I spent around 40 minutes there, and a visit here is thoroughly recommended, whatever your preference." Jan '19

Featured Maker - PAUL TAYLOR

Our Featured Maker for February is Guild member and ceramicist Paul Taylor, you can see and buy Paul's work in the gallery at the moment.
'My work has largely centered on the vessel, using ultra thin slabs of textured terracotta, assembled and fired multiple times aiming to transform very simple materials into pottery that has its own distinctive characteristic. I want to create vessels with interesting configurations, surfaces and textures. I am fascinated by the alchemy that occurs when combining clay, smoke and fire culminating in the often magical changes that occur during the firing process. My work is fired multiple times, the final firing is a low temperature saggar firing with combustible materials producing a range of surprising and often unpredictable outcomes.'
