A large audience turned up to Sophie Cummings' final talk on the wonderful exhibition
From Where I'm Standing, featuring 10 West Country ceramicists responses to paintings and ceramics pieces in the collection. Some of those taking part in the exhibition were on hand to talk about their choice of paintings and their working methods, so there was quite an atmosphere of excitement in the gallery
I tried to take photos, but in places, there were too many of us to get a decent photo
The first person to talk was Sarah Purvey, here she is with her 3 huge pots
And the painting which inspired her, Basil Beattie's
Witness VII is partially seen below
next Keith Varney who talked about how he was inspired by Tim Phillips
' Play:Here We Exemplify' in creating his ceramic vases .
After the talk, there was some hilarity between Sarah Purvey, Mary-Jane Evans and Jo Taylor
Rather a nice smiley look
and then a gathering of the six ceramicists who came to talk about their work.
