David Frith, Margaret Frith50 Years of Brookhouse Pottery
David and Margaret have been making beautiful pots for fifty years: their work is firmly located in the contemporary but expresses the legacy of diverse traditions. Having mastered the thrown form and firing of seductive reduction glazes they developed wax resist to facilitate the layering of glazes with painted motif and slip trailing to give depth and resonance to the apparently effortless surface decoration. Their pots are complimentary in tone, form and appropriateness for the domestic space; these two ceramic artists work in different dimensions. Margaret produces delicate forms with painted or carved motifs in porcelain and David works on a larger scale in high fired stoneware.
