This second solo exhibition of Yuriko Hill's ceramics at the Harlequin Gallery is especially pleasing, as Yuriko was one of the first "unknown" potters whose work I showed. After being part of two mixed exhibitions and having smaller items of her work available on a continual basis, Yuriko had her first solo outing two years ago. I think that any gallery owner will agree that it is very difficult to get clients to come and look at, let alone buy, work by artists trying to establish themselves. Yuriko has proved the exception with her work having been purchased by my regular clients, people who have never bought studio pottery before, artists and owners of serious modern art collections.

Her second exhibition will consist of around eighty pieces of work ranging from her miniature forms to work on a much grander scale and include glazes and shapes not previously shown.
