Ceramic showcase at Heart Gallery

Well, where has April gone then?? I haven't blogged here since March and don't really know why so I shall rectify this with a ceramic showcase for you to feast your eyes on ....

Clare Mahoney is an artist who specialises in merging ceramics and printmaking. The inspiration for her work comes from nature, striving to interpret the short-lived beauty and fragility of nature, capturing the image before it fades.

The exploration of colour, pattern and texture is beautifully demonstrated in her handmade ceramics which focus on nature, abstracted imagery and the passage of time. By the process of drawing; mono print and collage she creates wall hung and sculptural ceramics that engage the viewer in a visual journey.

Heart Gallery had a box of Clare's beautiful pieces delivered today and it was like Christmas unwrapping her pieces from inside their packaging ... what a delight hidden inside!

  
Another long awaited delivery this week was from Jan Constantine. Jan's embroidered cushions have long been admired here ... take a look ...

... but now she has developed a range of china for the kitchen to compliment her style and it arrived Wednesday at Heart Gallery.

Wow ... we couldn't wait for these to arrive and we have not been disappointed so know you won't be either!

Sarah McDade is one of our local ceramicists and has been making ceramic heads and figures for over 20 years, establishing a reputation for high quality work.

Sarah is inspired by the creative possibilities when building the human form in clay. Her ideas are developed from observation, drawings, sketches and photographs.

Commissions welcome.

Another of our favourite local ceramicists is Sue Candy. Sue produces individual and contemporary tableware, hand built from porcelain clay slabs and constructed as delicate boxes ...

Sue is currently working on our new order which will arrive at the beginning of next month and includes her new wall pieces.

New deliveries now in stock at Heart Gallery so I hope you have enjoyed this little ceramic showcase and before I go .... a sneaky peak at the new Pantone range arriving at Heart Gallery early May! These are certain to be really popular, as I have had several enquiries already, so make sure you come along to Heart Gallery early to have your pick of colours ... enjoy - I have my little eye on the lime green! xXx
