The Crafts Study Centre and the New Ashgate Gallery work
together on a number of projects including their roles as
partners in the Crafts Council’s Hothouse programme, which
fosters the careers of emerging makers. One such maker is
the ceramicist Arjan van Dal, who participated in the 2016
cohort. The New Ashgate Gallery and the Crafts Study
Centre are proud to promote his Open Studio and Artist’s
Talk as part of the London Craft Week (3 to 7 May 2017).
Arjan’s functional ware is inspired by 12th to 17th century
Jingdhezen monochrome porcelain and modernist design.
He will discuss his motivations and training in ceramics in
Holland, and his London studio (5F Thane Works, London
N7 7NU) will display recent work, where ‘austerity of form
meets a refined touch’
