Richard Slee | Flora, Fauna & Feasting: Rockingham Pottery Meets Contemporary Craft | Wentworth Woodhouse

Richard Slee is participating in Flora, Fauna & Feasting: Rockingham Pottery Meets Contemporary Craft on view at Wentworth Woodhouse, though 23 June 2024. 

 

Flora, Fauna & Feasting | Rockingham Pottery Meets Contemporary Craft celebrates the ritual of coming together to eat, drink and enjoy each other's company unites people across the centuries. Each table presents Rockingham Pottery and contemporary craft, in ceramic, textile, glass and metal. The historic and contemporary table adornments are united by their inspiration: Rockingham Pottery was commonly decorated with flowers, fauna and fruit, and contemporary crafts people continue to seek inspiration in the natural world. The exhibition oscillates between the old and new, giving pause to think about the changing nature of creativity, flowering from roots grounded in our history.
