Tonight was opening night at Bridget Bodenham’s ‘Matter and Spirit’ exhibition at Paper Boat Press. 

The art of pottery is of all the arts, the one that fuses together in indestructible unity earth and heaven, matter and spirit ~ Sir Herbert Read.

As you can tell, I am pretty stoked to have snagged one of Bridget’s plates. Can’t wait to use it!!!

I realise that my last three posts have all been exhibition related but I can’t help myself!! If you have the chance, you must visit Paper Boat Press to see Bridget’s exhibition for yourself (running until June 14th).

An avid instagram follower of Bridget’s work, it was a delight to see and touch the wares that she created especially for this exhibition and have a chat with her as well.

Gorgeously arranged and displayed in the PBP’s gallery, it was simply wonderful to see the result of all Bridget and Kylie’s plots and plans since the start of the year so beautifully realised.

With a big smile, Rachel.

  1. Sounds like you had a wonderful night Rachel. I love the quote by Sir Herbert Read. I fondly remember doing a pottery class in school. It is amazing being able to craft clay into a piece of useable art ~ Julia

    1. Pottery is such a unique tradition! It’s ability to dance between the functional and the sculptural is so special. Thanks for your comment Julia 🙂
