House of Pots
House of Pots is an exhibition of contemporary ceramics and art on the King’s Road in Chelsea, London. The exhibition provides the opportunity to see the wide range of contemporary works coming from use of different clays, different styles and different technologies.
Porcelain, stoneware and earthenware clays are represented. Styles include designs with crystalline, raku, celadon, slip and many unique handmade glazes. Wheel thrown, hand built and slip cast are some of the methods the artist use to create ceramic vessels and sculptures. Technologies used range from the traditional electric kilns, gas kiln and wood fired kilns to the cutting edge of digital technology, virtual reality and 3D clay printing.
The exhibition this year will celebrate three themes: vessels for displaying flowers in the Japanese art form of ikebana; a contemporary take on Staffordshire flatback figures and displays of paintings/drawings in conversation with ceramic forms.
Artists
The 34 artists working in clay, paintings and drawings from established to emerging artists. Artists come from over a dozen different countries. Most have studied at renowned art schools like The Royal College of Art, Central St Martins, and Goldsmiths where exposure to historic ceramics worldwide like French Porcelain have informed their practice. Additionally, this year we have paintings and drawings that we feel work well in conversation with sculptural ceramics and vessels.
