Hi folks,
I am visiting some friends in London and want to try to fit in a
studio/gallery or two. Can you suggest any must-see exhibitions or studios?
I am hoping to buy a couple of small pieces to add to my collection. I found
the Contemporary Ceramics Gallery info online and plan to go there on
Thursday. Any other suggestions? Must be reachable by public transport,
preferably within walking distance of a tube station.
Thanks!

And for medieval pottery, the Museum of London has a superb collection.
Cheers, Hank..........just returned from workshops in Fairbanks and
Anchorage, where the hospitality of both Guilds was superb!

The ceramics collection on the top floor
is closed until 2009. There are still great
pieces to be seen in the Asian Collections
and the Early European work. The British
Museum has many many clay pieces
throughout the museum. Gallery Besson
is a top ceramics gallery, and there are web
sites that will direct you to individual
galleries all over the city and beyond.

Not to be missed is the Percival David Foundation of Chinese Art. An
amazing collection acquired by a former British civil servant in China. Not
far from the British Museum. Russell Square underground.
Also maybe worth a look, the Saatchi if

Not far from the British Museum. Russell Square underground.
Also maybe worth a look, the Saatchi, if it still has a collection of
Greyson Perry's large earthenware urns, inscribed with scenes of great
power, that won the Turner prize a few years ago. They are
simply fantastic. Otherwise I was not impressed with the Sacchi.
Have fun,

The British Museum is awesome: http://www.thebritishmuseum.ac.uk/
I only had an afternoon (you could get lost there for a month!),
so I beelined to Ancient Mesopotamia (Iraq).
I visited the Korean pottery exhibit but the Japanese was closed.
There was also an exhibit of Rembrandt drawings and I finished up my
time with the Marbles from the Parthenon. Being a Sagittarian,
anti-authoritarian, and a rebel, I sided with the centaurs (I would be
Robinhood against the Sherrif and Pot cops! ;^) )

Sorry, The whole main ceramic hall is closed until, at least the end of
this year.
Still, there are plenty of pots scattered around the museum to see. And
it is a FANASTIC museum.
The craft potters association gallery is good, pick up a copy of Ceramic
Review to find out the current shows, They might even have a copy of the
Craft Gallery map, so is Contemporary Applied arts in Percy st, The
Percival David Foundation for Chinese pots, The Hart Gallery in Upper
Street in Islington shows pictures downstairs and pots upstairs, Galerie
Besson is terrific but not open on saturdays, also check the auction
houses (Bonhams and Sotheby's) for their viewing days prior to their
ceramic auctions (check them on line).
That should get you started. As always, ask around.
Russel
