Congratulations to Gwyn Hanssen Piggott whose work has been acquired by Hamiltion Regional Gallery.

Gwyn is coming to the end of her residency in Shigaraki, Japan. Shigaraki has been operating as a commercial pottery centre since the 13th century and has one of the oldest working kilns in Japan. Ceramics from this region are characterised by the local sandy, orange coloured clay and are renowned for their durability. (Image above: view from Gwyn Hanssen Pigott’s studio in Shigaraki)
