POT OF THE MONTH - JUNE 2010

This month Stuart Dickens has made his choice from the Gallery at  Bevere's  June exhibition
The Summer Show

CURATOR’S CHOICE
Susan Nemeth Large Matisse Bowl

Susan Nemeth set up her workshop in London in 1979. This wonderful bowl selected itself as
‘Pot of the Month’. The decoration alone demonstrates the way in which Susan’s work continues to develop. Whilst she is not unique in using integral decoration where laminated sheets of coloured clays inlaid with hand cut patterns are beaten, rollered and stretched over moulds forcing a form from one single flat sheet of clay, she does it with such élan.

This bowl is one of the stars of the show involving three other excellent craftsmen/artists. The decoration, as always with Susan’s work, fits the pot extremely well and the painterly style of this pot rewards close inspection from every angle.
