Once again the run-up to Christmas sees a mixture of items both new and old for sale at the Harlequin Gallery, with perhaps more of an emphasis on older ceramic items this year. Included in the latter will be five recently acquired pots by Katharine Pleydell-Bouverie (1895-1985) as well as even earlier work by Charles Vyse and Alfred Hopkins. Two items by Michael Cardew (1901-1983) will also be available alongside other earthenware from the Winchcombe Pottery and later work associated with Cardew's Wenford Bridge Pottery, including some early pots by Rupert Spira. However be warned Rupert's work back in the 1980's was unlike what he produces today. Following last year's success, I have also been able to obtain further examples of Poh Chap Yeap's porcelain and stoneware. This is getting more and more difficult to source since it is now almost 20 years since he stopped potting but I will have over a dozen items available at the start of this Christmas show. Finally in this section, I should highlight that there will be a few examples of Patrick Sargent's anagama pots available. Patrick, who worked in Switzerland, exhibited on several occasions at the Harlequin Gallery before his tragic early death in 1998. Coming right up to date there will be recently produced ceramics by Robin Welch and two "Christmas regulars" in Michael Posner and Doris Mitchell. Doris has taken a new direction recently and, although her porcelain is still thrown, it is a little less "regular" than before! Obviously, work by many of the potters who have exhibited at the Harlequin in the last year or two will be available and "while stocks last" I will be repeating the ever-popular £5 selection. Gallery regulars Donald Wells and Tove Bowyer will by supplying the sculpture and Denis Bowen's paintings, including many small works on paper will be available alongside those of other artists. The last of the work available before Christmas that I wish to highlight is by a new artist to the gallery, Juliana Oyewole. Juliana is a printmaker but her work is really a mixture of etching and painting. Although prints, all are unique due to the colour and shading used by Juliana during the printing plate preparation.
