Porcelain Complexion - a new exhibition from Devon Guild and Plymouth Museum on show at Bovey Tracey's craft gallery from 4 October to 17 November.
The exhibition tells the story of porcelain’s journey from China to Devon. It combines historical artefacts specially loaned from Plymouth Museum with the work of several contemporary makers. Amongst the antique tea-ware sits Carl – part of a group of hand-dipped porcelain dogs by Helen Felcey. For her, porcelain embodies both sharpness and softness and gives the familiar an other-worldly quality.
A chance to question leading experts about stem cell research. The panel includes Jean Harrington of Kings College, London and Professor Sara Rankin of Imperial College, London, co-creator of the exhibition. The conversation will be chaired by John Bryant, Emeritus Professor at the University of Exeter, and is supported by Exeter Café Scientifique.
