It is a fact that space is not common to have in houses these days, and it has become a rare blessing. It is a great blessing for anyone to have outside space, which can be used for multiple purposes.

Porcelain Complexion - a new exhibition from Devon Guild and Plymouth Museum on show at Bovey Tracey's craft gallery from 4 October to 17 November.
The exhibition tells the story of porcelain’s journey from China to Devon. It combines historical artefacts specially loaned from Plymouth Museum with the work of several contemporary makers. Amongst the antique tea-ware sits Carl – part of a group of hand-dipped porcelain dogs by Helen Felcey. For her, porcelain embodies both sharpness and softness and gives the familiar an other-worldly quality.
Notable ceramicist, Takeshi Yasuda, will talk about Jingdezhen, the city in China associated with the historical and contemporary production of porcelain. He will give illustrated examples of how clay from Kaolin mountains was created in the city and expand upon his own work currently on show in the Devon Guild exhibition Porcelain Complexion.

From being greeted outside the door by Simon Nelder's huge metal dragon to his own delicate musing on a dead bird in porcelain upstairs, curator Adam Graddon ensured there was something for art lovers of all stripes.
The exhibition has been billed as showcasing hidden talent, but this has more than a whiff of modesty! Anyone attending Exeter Open Studios or even the RAMM last year will be...
