6 Comments / Wedgewood /

Barlaston, Staffordshire.

The manufacturing of Wedgwood China has not changed much since Josiah Wedgwood first opened his factory – a look around the Wedgwood factory.

M/S of a row of girls pummelling clay into moulds. C/U of a girl emptying the moulds – delicate little clay figures fall out. C/U of man's hands carefully laying the figures on an unfired china dish. Zoom out on a man as he sticks figures to a jug, pan along to another man working on a bowl.

Extreme C/U of an engraver tapping out patterns on a copper cylinder, M/S of a row of engravers at work. C/U of a sheet of pattern transfers coming off metal rollers. M/S of a girl cutting out circles from the sheet. M/S of another girl brushing the transfers onto a plate. Panning shot along a workshop full of women sticking transfers to cups and plates.

C/U of a girl decorating a jug by hand, zoom out and pan across a workshop full of workers painting crockery. Extreme C/U on a brush painting an ivy pattern on the rim of a plate. High angled shot of a man painting a gold pattern on a plate rim. More shots of the hand painting workshop – lots of use of steadycam as it zooms around from worker to worker. M/S of a row of women polishing completed bits of Wedgwood, zoom in on a gold rimmed plate.

Various C/Us on sparkling Wedgwood on display.

Historian and author An Wilson explores the life of his great hero, Josiah Wedgwood. As one of the founding fathers of the Industrial Revolution, Wegdwood was a self-made, self-educated creative giant, whose other achievements might be better known if he wasn't so celebrated for his pottery.

Warren MacKenzie and Randy Johnston | Two Great American Potters | GOLDMARK

2 Comments / Randy Johnston /

Warren MacKenzie and Randy Johnston | Two Great American Potters. Opens Saturday 23rd June 2018. Major Ceramics Exhibition
This won’t happen again.

This is the rarest of opportunities to acquire work by two of the most important potters in American ceramics: Warren MacKenzie and Randy Johnston.

We have managed to source a magnificent collection of over 100 pots by MacKenzie, the grandfather of American studio ceramics. Having trained with Bernard Leach in St Ives, MacKenzie was the first to bring the great Japanese potter, Shoji Hamada to America and remains the last living link with their generation. A recent New York retrospective featuring similar pieces sold out at significantly higher prices. Our exhibition, complete with catalogue and film, opens in Uppingham on Saturday 23rd June. Pots are now in the UK and are available for purchase.

We will also be showing the latest work of Randy Johnston. Having studied with Warren MacKenzie and Hamada's favourite apprentice, Tatsuzo Shimaoka, Johnston is one of the most exciting and innovative potters working in America today. He is recognized internationally as an artist who has pursued functional expression and brought a fresh aesthetic vision to contemporary form, and for his many contributions to the development of wood kiln technology in the United States. We are delighted to announce that he will be joining us at the gallery on Saturday 23rd June.
