Ritual and Whimsy

To be a great potter you have to follow the ancient rituals of the art form. The centring of clay, the patience of the kiln, the slow transformation of earth into object — these are gestures that have been repeated for thousands of years, unchanged in their essentials.

And yet walk into any contemporary ceramics studio and you might find a teapot shaped like a cloud, a vase that appears to be melting, a bowl that is definitely winking at you.

Something has happened to ceramics. It has kept all of its seriousness — the discipline, the skill, the deep respect for material — while discovering an irrepressible sense of humour and play. The ritual remains. The whimsy has arrived and shows no sign of leaving.

Ritual & Whimsy celebrates this moment in contemporary ceramics — the ancient practice and the modern imagination, the meditative making and the mischievous result.
