Colour Wild patterns and bizarre shapes have no place here. Only elegant and simple forms are permitted, allowing the beauty of colour to radiate through. Colour plays a powerful role in everyone's lives, from fashion and advertising to religious symbolism. Specific colours embody significant meanings as well as expressing different emotional states; red for anger, blue for tranquility, black for sorrow . . . Creating vibrant glazes has fascinated potters throughout the ages, in countries near and far. Experimentation with metallic oxides, from copper and iron to manganese and titanium, can unleash some of the most beautiful colours. Tweaking the oxygen content or heat of the furnace will determine the depth, shade, tone or hue. Some of those colourful discoveries can be seen here, working in perfect harmony with the potted shapes, celebrating the power and glory of colour.
