Two Temple Place 2022 exhibition: Body Vessel Clay opens 29th January

Wednesday, January 19, 2022 - 10:15

In their 10th annual exhibition, Two Temple Place will showcase the ceramic medium through artworks by three generations of Black women artists working in clay. Body Vessel Clay: Black Women, Ceramics & Contemporary Art spans 70 years of ceramics, celebrating the medium in new and surprising ways. Beginning with the seminal Nigerian potter, Ladi Kwali, and examining her interaction with 1950s British Studio Pottery, this important new exhibition brings together a rich history with experimental new works by Black women working with clay today.
