Michel Francois : River of Colour
Free kiln opening event at the Rural Workshops, Breage
Saturday 17 May 2014 - 3 pm to 5 pm
On
Saturday 17th May potter Michel Francois opens his studio doors to the
public for another of his popular kiln opening events, where buyers and
art enthusiasts
can be the first to see his latest show of work straight from its final
firing.
In
celebration of spring this new collection, entitled River of Colour,
brings together a dazzling palette of hues across a range
of ceramic objects including wine cups, coffee beakers and Oriental
dining ware.
Francois’
elegant hand-thrown porcelain works will emerge hot from the kiln in a
vivid stream of celadon yellows, sky blues, emerald greens, glowing
ambers and the warm
orange of Gunwalloe clay, interspersed with pieces in tones of pearl white, midnight blue and rich luminous black.
The 60 to 80 piece collection includes noodle bowls, Japanese yunomi cups and coffee beakers, elongated desert bowls and
porcelain
champagne and wine cups. The show also includes a collection of
statement pieces including a contemporary porcelain wine carafe and
uniquely beautiful jars and
bowls in Maple, Plum, Beech and Chestnut ash glazes.
Visitors
to this FREE event are welcome between 3 and 5pm. Artisan coffee
courtesy of Espressini Coffee House Falmouth will be served along with
luscious cakes from Peasouk Café Falmouth. All
works are available for purchase with prices ranging from £10 to £500.
