A REMARKABLE exhibition by a family of potters from Beaminster in Dorset has just arrived in Devizes.
Some 170 ceramic pieces with exciting new glazes and colours are on show until the end of the year at the Wiltshire Heritage Museum in Long Street, the work of David and Patricia Eeles and their sons, Benjamin and Simon.
The family works as a team and makes dishes, platters, vases, jars, cooking pots, cheese dishes, wine jars in fact, all kinds of ware, all individually decorated.
They make stoneware, porcelain and "raku" at the pottery, using simple ingredients such as Dorset clay ball, Devon china clay, local sand, granite from Cornwall, feldspars, limestone and basalt from Somerset.
Inspiration for shape and pattern are principally drawn from nature.
