 Untitled Teapots, salt-glazed |
 Walter Keeler My work is informed by my passion for pots from the past, but also by making and firing, and the world and times in which I live. Sometimes I make simple useful things like mugs or jugs; on other occasions my work is less straightforward, making demands, even challenging the user to negotiate with an unexpected pot to do an ordinary job. I hope my pottery brings with its seriousness, some humour and sensual pleasure. |

 Tirlun I (Landscape I) |
 Eleri Mills Creative Wales Ambassador 2011/13 Visiting Artist, Columbia University, New York (Feb – April 2012) My instinct has always been to embrace both painting and textile traditions without having to conform to either. While the act of drawing is central to all my work, I delight in the raw beauty of all my materials – whether they are fabric, thread, paint or paper. The content of my work is my main concern, and while the processes have varied and evolved over the years, the subject matter has always been consistently influenced by the landscape of mid Wales and the glorious Bardic tradition of Wales. |
