CENTRE FOR MODERN & CONTEMPORARY
STUDIO CERAMICS AND ORIGINAL ARTWORK

Dennis Farrell's painterly seascape pots have been featured in the gallery to date, now we are pleased to be able to show new work which depicts the woodlands near his home in Shropshire.

These atmospheric pots show a genuine painter/potter at work. We liked his evocative seascape pots however this new work has a very different feel.
