The David Frith exhibition
staged by Oakwood Ceramics takes place at the Thoresby Gallery
near Ollerton in Nottinghamshire and runs from from October
18th until November 2nd 2008. Due to a family commitment
I missed the preview event but visited the exhibition at
a quiet time and was able to admire the masterly skills
of potter David Frith at a leisurely pace. As usual, Oakwood
Ceramics main man David Binch was at hand to provide background
information and a couple of hours quickly passed.
Overall around 80 pots are shown ranging from small yunomis
and lidded boxes through to a huge squared bottle. Many
of the pots have enamelled decoration and there is a large
rectangular press moulded dish with decoration very reminiscent
of the late David Leach. I thouroughly enjoyed the exhibition
and am looking forward the the Mike Dodd exhibition which
is Oakwood Ceramics' next event at Thoresby in November.
Although a good number of pots have been sold, some are
still available so if you cannot visit the exhibition in
person and see something you fancy, contact Oakwood Ceramics
