A windowful of pots, painted pots by David Stubbs and thrown pots by Chris Keenan, cool paintings, tactile vessels, handmade studies in repetition and variation, they’re all the result of a purposeful ritual and a prolonged gaze. Reflections of the artists’ hand and eye. Look closely and you’ll see me taking the photograph with one of David’s painted pots!
David made a couple of paintings inspired by one of Chris’s bowls.

That looks a lovely serene and calming window – lovely to see Chris K’s pots there!
