Oakwood Ceramics - 2006 - Exhibition
Jim Malone is one of Britain's most respected studio potters and this, his first exhibition for a couple of years did not disappoint. A wonderful collection of 67 pots were exhibited by the Oakwood Gallery and most were eagerly snapped up by enthusiastic and knowledgable collectors at the very well attended preview event.
The pots formed the first firing of Jim's new two chamber climbing kiln built by with his own hands at his Lessonhall Pottery in the English Lake District.
The exhibition was beautifully staged and the Oakwood team are to be congratulated for providing a first class venue.
