We have these two Potlatch vessels by @janecairns on display in the gallery. Jane hand-builds her #ceramics using slabs of of clay, and finished the pieces in response to her surroundings in everyday urban life. The surface texture of these pieces is fascinating and makes the vessels extremely tactile! #handbuiltpottery #ceramicart #handmadeart #cambridge #ccagallery #janecairns #ceramicst #independentshop #artgallery

@deborah_burrow_artist Growing up in the countryside of Suffolk, England has been Deborah Burrow's main influence. Whilst developing as an artist, her affinity with the landscape and its richness has grown, and her current work reflects this. Deborah's work is on display now! #cambridge #paintings

@vickyoldfieldartist Vicky Oldfield's strong images are created using collagraphs an experimental form of printmaking. The prints are taken from plates which have been collaged with a variety of materials, card, fabric, paper, string, sand and anything else that may come to hand; it's recycling at it's most creative! #cambridge #printmaking #collograph

@virginiadowe Virginia Dowe uses hand building ceramic techniques to present a range of 'one off' sculptures of animals. Skilfully manipulating both extruded and slab forms, she is able to visualise and create imaginative animal studies, capturing their characters with a sense of fun. Current examples include family dogs, rats and horses, sometimes combined with human figures. On display now! #cambridge #ceramics #animalart 📷@zuza_g
