Lesley Taylor Contemporary Art with guest ceramicist Christopher New

Leslie Taylor

Lesley is a self taught contemporary mixed-media artist, working from her studio in Orford.

This exhibition will feature a wide range of witty three-dimensional boxed and freestanding sculptures, each of which encapsulates a moment in time.  The focus is a seemingly simple, but dramatic, splash of colour against a brilliant white background.  All with her trademark touch of humour!

The exhibition will also include work from Lesley’s recent venture into ceramics.  Quite a departure from her normal style, ‘Flamboyant Fish’ will be available for sale. [Contribution from sales of this collection are to be donated to Suffolk Libraries].

Christopher New

Christopher has been making ceramic sculpture and pottery for 40 years as a hobbyist.  In 2018 he stepped down from teaching Fashion Design at Central Saint Martins, to open BLUEBIRD POTTERY in Sudbourne Park. This is primarily a place where he offers pottery classes, but he is also an active maker himself.

His work is about usable pots, true to the origin of pottery, made as vessels, practical receptacles – things to be used in everyday life.

This exhibition will feature hand-thrown, stoneware bowls, classic shapes but decorated in luminescent combinations of spectacular glazes. Each piece is individual and unique.
