Through the collection at Museum & Art Swindon, Beneath the Surface looks at the history of studio ceramics in Britain, from the early 1900s until today. It examines the foundational ethos of studio ceramics, which placed beauty and practicality at the heart of everyday objects, and traces the evolution of clay as a contemporary art medium. The exhibition highlights the fusion of innovative styles and techniques over the last century, and the porous boundaries between art and craft, breaking down limiting categories of fine art and craft items.
This exhibition is made possible through grants from KennedyTing and the Friends of Museum & Art Swindon.
