Shaun Hall's Raku Ceramics Blogspot

Lots of sculptural work is now up at #Rippinghamart online gallery. As some of you may know, I've been dealing with David and Jan Rippingham for the past few years and they have hand picked some very interesting and renowned artists, potters and crafts people. It's great to be sharing work through their online gallery again. Brand new pots now online. Have a peek here: https://theartonlinegallery.com/artist/shaun-hall/

I cannot believe it was a whole year ago that Curocarte came to visit my studio all the way from Mumbai, India. I am deeply indebted to Pragya Aswathi and Chhavi Saklani from the company,   who first spotted my work and approached me about the possibility of marketing my Raku work in India. They really take care of their makers and highly value crafts. They are a rare company indeed. I'm very proud of this achievement, and it's an opportunity you only get once in life! From showing at Edida the India Design Festival, a full page ad in GQ magazine and having a work on show at the Elle Design Awards 2017, it's been deeply touching to have seen my pottery works so valued. It's not quite the same story here in the UK...but perhaps a move to India is on the cards..well perhaps!

I was just messing around with a firing and I pulled this solitary copper matte piece from the flames. It's a bit of a cracker! (Not literally...) Last of 2016....and it's on show for sale at Rippingham Art. See you in 2017. https://theartonlinegallery.com/art/raku-pisces-xiii/
