‘Toys of Innocence and Experience’ - the art show that WANTS visitors to play with its exhibits!
In this show toys are used as a vehicle for satire and social comment. Either by playing with them, or on close inspection, participants discover that these toys aren’t so innocent. Indeed, some of the twenty-five toys in the show might possibly be found to be disturbing, or even shocking. At the very least they cannot be described simply as sculptures. They are more like stimulators for the formation of thoughts - thoughts about society and the world we live in.
Seaglass Gallery, an independent art gallery in Lympstone, will be hosting ‘A Celebration of Ceramics’ from Friday 28th April until Sunday 7th May.
The exhibition will be open daily from 10.30am-4pm ( closed Tuesday 2nd May) and will exhibit the work of contemporary ceramicists coming together to celebrate the natural forms and colours of nature.
Beautiful pots, vessels, functional ware and decorative tiles will inspire visitors, in our calm and creative space.
Charlotte and Bruce, Seaglass Gallery’s owners, who will be...
