MOLLY CURLEY - A retrospective

1- June - 3 July 2022

A very special Focus on a Maker exhibition this summer, celebrating the pottery of one of the Guild's founder members, Molly Curley.
It was with great sadness that we learnt of the passing of Molly earlier in 2022 (you can read our tribute Here)
This career retrospective features work from the Curley Family Collection, covering a wide period of her prodigious career in ceramics.
Since taking early retirement from Cardiff High School Molly developed her career as a potter since the mid 80's. She specialised in wheel thrown domestic ware, mostly decorated with liquid clay (slips) and fired in an electric kiln.
Visitors to the Makers Guild Wales gallery, Craft in the Bay will be familiar with her pottery and may even have been lucky enough to own one of her remarkable pieces of Pottery!




Back in  2016 we took part in Heritage Lottery Fund project led by VCS Cymru.  The Chronicle Project was a community heritage project supported by the Heritage Lottery Fund and run by VCS Cymru with the aims to document the history of volunteering in Cardiff, from 1914 to 2014. We want to build on these oral histories to create a digital archive, which can be used as a unique educational resource.

Here is an oral history interview with Molly Curley, a founding member of The Makers Guild in Wales, that took place on 18 September 2016.
