An Inside Look at the Myth of Family

As some of you may be aware, this past Friday, my first solo art show for pottery opened.

I wanted to give everyone who was unable to attend the opportunity to have an inside look at the show. Below is a short video that highlights some of the pieces in this exhibit, and will give you a feel for the gallery:

Art Exhibit – ‘The Myth of Family’ – A Showcase of Raku Pottery

I am pleased to be able to say that the night was a great success! I want to take this opportunity to thank all the lovely souls who took the time to attend and view my pieces. You helped make this moment special for me!

I would also like to acknowledge the professionalism and hard work of Mathew at the Riverside Oxford Gallery for the opportunity to show my work. Your knowledge, insights and help were incredibly appreciated!

Let me know what you think of the video and which piece was your favourite in the show in the comments below. You can also view more of my vase creations here.
