Drawn from the Arkansas Arts Center Foundation Collection, the exhibition Contemporary British Studio Ceramics contains examples of 20th century studio ceramics. The majority of these works were gifts to the Arkansas Arts Center by Diane and Sanford “Sandy” Besser and range from functional wares—bowls and teapots—to purely sculptural forms. The exhibition illustrates a rich variety of technique and forms represented, ranging from slab-building, handbuilding, and wheel throwing, to neriage and nerikomi, traditional Japanese methods using “marbleized” clay and similar to the 17th and 18th-century “agatewares” of England. There is also a diverse range of finishes represented, from glazed and slip-inlaid to burnished surfaces.
