Exemplary ceramics by internationally renowned Artist.

Owen Rye is a member of the International Academy of Ceramics. He is known internationally for being at the forefront of the contemporary woodfiring movement. Through his artwork, his writing and his teaching, many ceramic artists have been inspired to follow the woodfirer’s path.

This exhibition highlights a new phase in my fifty-seven years dedication to ceramics. My public reputation over many recent years has been focused on woodfiring, and most exhibited work has been fired in the anagama kiln.

Health and other personal reasons dictate that the anagama is no longer in use. Instead, over the past few years I have concentrated on applied glazes. A wide range of interesting results has allowed selection of a large variety of new works.

This exhibition shows works from both genres; a selection of the woodfired work, some previously shown others exhibited for the first time, and a range of new glazed work also exhibited for the first time
