| | | It is with great sadness that we’d like you all to know that Emmanuel Cooper, the co-founder of Ceramic Review, died peacefully on Saturday. Potter, writer, critic, teacher, mentor, friend…he will be missed by all. Indeed, it is hard to imagine the UK ceramics world without him in it.
We will be collecting comments, condolences, and tributes. If you would like to contribute your thoughts and memories about Emmanuel, you may do so here or by emailing me at bonniekemske@ceramicreview.com.

Objects for a Landscape: A special look at the work of Gordon Baldwin in light of his recent exhibition at York Art Gallery, Objects for a Landscape. In this six-page feature, David Whiting reveals the sources of his imagination through themes as diverse as the landscape, autobiography, and poetry, and in doing so comes closer to understanding his sculptural vessels. |
