Towards the
end of 2015 Wendy Goldblatt well-known ceramicist and Peta Hunter established
stylist & exhibition curator joined forces to open a gallery specializing
in ceramics and ceramic sculpture. The idea came about as Wendy felt
there aren’t enough outlets to showcase and sell ceramics in Gauteng.
The Space
Between at Peta’s Place opened in October with an exhibition of Lisa Firer’s
porcelain tea lights and vessels. It was followed by Lalage Hunter with
her carved terracotta pots and Wendy Goldblatt’s boldy decorated porcelain
bowls and in December a group exhibition was held of Original Objects which
consisted of exquisitely handcrafted jewellery, fabrics and ceramics. All
three exhibitions were very successful and well received. Visitors loved the
ambience of the space and have indicated an interest in future
exhibitions and activities .
In February
we are opening with some ceramic history - an unusual exhibition of a
collection of original art deco vessels & objects.
This will
be followed by an exhibition of jugs of all shapes, sizes and uses, and
after that a teapot exhibition of intriguing & imaginative teapots. If you
would like to participate in either the jug or the teapot exhibition, please
let us know as soon as possible or start making either or both!
We also
intend to show ceramic sculptures both small and large as we have a beautiful
garden space for larger outdoor work.
We will be
holding one man shows, group exhibitions and special themed exhibitions
throughout the year.
We are
currently looking for potters who have existing work they would like to show or
who are planning an exhibition and/ or who would be interested in making pieces
for one of our specific forthcoming exhibitions. Remember, our exhibition of
jugs will be coming up soon and we would be delighted if you would enter some
pieces for this exhibition.
If you are
interested, please contact us - we would love to meet with you and discuss your
work or if you are out of Joburg please email images of your pieces.
Looking
forward to hearing from you.
Peta and
Wendy
