The ideas first grew from some new deeply impressed motifs applied to some of my thrown pots. This led to a train of thought towards porcelain and the potential translucency of these marks which I thought may lend themselves to some kind of lighting. So I have recently begun a mini collaboration with local artist and designer-maker <a title=\"Colin's website: Handmade furniture and lighting\" href=\"http:\/\/www.colinchetwood.co.uk\/\">Colin Chetwood<\/a>, who specialises in lighting of various forms and materials. The first of these porcelain wall lights will be displayed in Cirencester&#8217;s Brewery Arts &#8216;Pop-Up&#8217; gallery from Tuesday 26th June, in an exhibition entitled <a title=\"for further detail on this exhibition\" href=\"https:\/\/jeremysteward.co.uk\/w\/884\/pop-up-exhibition-cirencester\/\">&#8216;Shuffling Sideways&#8217;<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>Alongside these lights, I shall be displaying a complimentary group of hand-built pots in stoneware and limoges porcelain. Using the same large sledged plaster moulds that form the lighting tiles, these slab-built and coiled pots have offered a refreshing challenge. The slower pace of production and the various processes of building and assembly, lends a set of completely new ways of thinking and doing. All still to play for, wood salt-firing next week!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>For several weeks I have been working at a tangent to my usual practice of wheel throwing.
