A Natural Selection

4 September 2025 - 27 September 2025

Various Artists

A Natural Selection presents six exceptional makers, each working in a unique material, yet all expressing a kinship with the natural world.

Anthony Bryant from Cornwall, is a master of green woodturning who creates astonishingly delicate, thin-walled vessels.

From Devon, Vicky Lindo and Bill Brookes share a collaborative ceramics studio and draw their narratives from mythology, folklore, and everyday life.

Iceland-born ceramicist Björk Haraldsdóttir creates handbuilt stoneware vessels that feature strong geometric and monochrome patterns.

Michèle Oberdieck, originally from Canada crafts blown-glass vessels whose fluid, biomorphic shapes and vibrant coloration evoke botanical movement and light.

Based in Wales, Philip Eglin’s post-modern aesthetic draws on many sources from popular culture and ceramic history through to high art, and from Gothic Madonnas to Abstract Expressionists.
