Ceramics by Robyn Cove
Exhibition of new functional ceramic pieces by Scottish ceramicist Robyn Cove.
Robyn Cove displays her work in shows, galleries and exhibitions across the UK and her work has been published internationally. From her home studio in Cardiff she makes pottery that captures a rustic warmth with full forms and contemporary surface designs.
“The main focus of my pottery is that it functions,” Robyn explains. “The form and size of the pots are made with usability in mind. Texture and other decoration are both for aesthetic interest and function.

“These either give grip or highlight the contours of the pot allowing for easier visual understanding before and whilst the pot is in the hands.
“The hope is that they fit well in the hands and therefore become an extension of the user’s own body. The pots I make often feature turned feet and repeat pattern carved or painted in bands around the body of the pots.
“My work takes inspiration from many sources; most apparent are both Japanese and British studio pottery, the most direct influence is from my own use of handmade pottery at home.”
