Rufford Craft Centre - Exhibition
Corcordia - David and Margaret Firth
15 June - 12 July
Fellows of the Craft Potters Association, David and Margaret Frith's reputations are well established. David, with his mastery of the potter's wheel, makes majestic pieces with waxed motifs under heavy reduction overglazes and glaze trailing. Margaret concentrates on individual porcelain pieces with carved decoration or coloured glaze.
We are delighted they have returned with their exhibition which will be running alongside Earth and Fire the International Ceramics Fair 26, 27 and 28 June 9am - 5.30pm each day.
