The studio'shop has been buzzing these past few weeks and we are delighted to be selling the work by our Artist Director @gregorytingay. Please@contact the studio for details. ❤️
Gregory’s work consists very much of strongly individual art pieces, each telling their own story by sgraffito patterning through slip exterior surfaces, and given specific titles which expand the artistic content. This coral slip & sgraffito ‘Voyage to the Moon’ and ‘Stone Sentinels’, constitute the primary pieces from Gregory’s artist residency last summer at Hauser & Wirth Somerset. For COLLECT he made two new moonjars, one entitled ‘Marginalia’ in free-flowing organic decoration: a sister piece stylistically to ‘Voyage to the Moon’. The second, a complex piece of sgraffito through brown slip with inlaid matte white and dark blue exterior glazes, is called ‘Metamorphosis’. This piece has as a starting point of inspiration the iron man-hole covers sighted by the artist near his home along the pavement of the 18th Highbury Terrace, but metamorphosed into eyes, mouths... hints at creatures emerging from patterns. Subject-wise this piece links to ‘Marginalia’, both made at SPL shortly before his COLLECT show. The swirling curlicues and organic efflorescence of this work is reminiscent of the marginalia, the doodling of medieval monks in the margins of illuminated manuscripts. Oftentimes strange creatures would be incorporated into these patterns - pointing to ‘Metamorphosis’. A tangential nod towards Gregory’s past as a monk can be read in these pieces. His final artwork last summer as artist in residence at Hauser & Wirth was to create a quasi illuminated page in the artist resident book summarising his achievement over that summer. ‘Stone Sentinels’ has four discernible African mask faces - guardian spirits- emerging from the more geometric patterns, with the undecorated slip areas forming architectonic limbs and arms raised in votive supplication. This work has subconscious inspiration in the ancient stone structures of Great Zimbabwe in Matabeleland.

We are very lucky work with @dutodom who has been photographing our beautiful design studio by @flint_interior_design from the beginning #family. Here are a few vessel for sale by artists @gregorytingay, @michel_francois_porcelain & Jason Wason. We are uniquely located in central London in the heart of Victoria. A place of calm and community, our carefully curated space provides a perfect environment for city-dwellers to come together to learn and create.

Inspiration in hard times #makersmonday ‘Running above the shelves in the studio is a long line of matching beakers, each with a letter, sgraffito through slip, spelling out some lines of poetry. I threw on the wheel nearly 250 lettered beakers during my artist residency last summer at Hauser & Wirth Somerset - my potter’s take on Tracy Emin’s neon light texts - spelling out lines from TS Eliot’s great sequence of poems, The Four Quartets. Partly my intention was to demonstrate the fundamental grounding of our practice in repeat throwing using the same weight of clay to make a run of simple beakers - making a straight-sided cylinder is the first step in learning how to throw. But I was also keen to use some profound poetry within my work to elevate these simple beakers into an installation.
Back at the new Studio, I placed some of these poetic beakers to inspire our makers. The text is somewhat relevant to us today as we stay at home. The beakers spell out this text:
‘Home is where one starts from,
As we grow older the world becomes stranger,
The pattern more complicated
of dead and living’
From home we can reflect on all that is positive and creative in our lives and draw hope’.
