View across the exhibition

The Monnow Valley Arts Centre is a little gem tucked away in the Welsh borderland near Abergavenny :difficult to find but well worth the effort. Opened in 12007 there are two galleries, a sculpture garden and an artist's studio and residence.

Their Autumn 2009 exhibition features 64 pots from the collection of an anonymous academic including works by a number of major potters including Bernard Leach, William Staite-Murray, Lucie Rie and Hans Coper.

A catalogue has been produced and there is to be a study day on October 17th when David Whiting and Jeffrey Jones will explore the collection and there will be a showing of the Arts Council film Michael Cardew : Mud and Water Man.
