Give a MUDDY Welcome! GARETH CLARKE

It just seems to make sense. Gareth is the messiest potter ever... I hope you don't mind me saying that, but it's true, we have the pictures. But our newest MUDDY addition is the wonderful GARETH CLARKE!

An amazing potter with great knowledge of ceramics, Gareth graduated in 2011 from the University of Ulster after completing his foundation diploma at Castlereagh Campus in East Belfast. You may remember him from such craft events such as CRAFT FEST 2013, Janine Parents Naked Raku workshop at R-Space and also as a regular stall holder at St Georges market in Belfast. We really can't wait to see what wonderful pieces Gareth will contribute to MUD!

Sintered Exhibition at Ards Art Centre

Work for Ards Art Centre 'Sintered' exhibition and working on my statement!

Little craggy forms, inspired by the many islands of Strangford Lough, are displayed in a dispersed ‘scatter brain’ formation to imitate the infarction process of vascular dementia. Some forms are not ‘whole’ representing the gaped structure of the brain where tissue has decayed. The vibrant colours demonstrate various activity levels in the brain and also add a playfulness. The forms are segregated into two groups; one with a pure white porcelain form and the other with a dark, hard and glossy surface. This mimics the transition between activity and decay.
