Scottish Potters blossom with anniversary exhibition

The Scottish Potters Association is marking its 30th anniversary by presenting an innovative exhibition in conjunction with the Royal Botanic Garden Edinburgh which explores and explains the world of plants.

The ‘Clay in Bloom’ exhibition, which will be held in the Exhibition Hall at the Royal Botanic Gardens Edinburgh between 7 August and 19 September 2004, will feature 18 ceramic artists who were selected to produce new pieces inspired by their experience of one of the Royal Botanic Gardens of Scotland.

The artists had immense scope to develop their work as they explored the inclusion of plant materials within the very fabric of the clay, exploring the strong architectural nature of plants and clay and the fundamental parallel processes of working with clay - earth/air/fire and water with plant life.
