Dan Kelly’s wheel-thrown pieces are deeply influenced by the urban environment, a longstanding source of inspiration. The figure also plays a central role in his practice—not only in how forms are described, but in how they relate to one another, like members of the same family.
His work also draws on traditional and historical ceramics from Europe and the Far East.
Doors are now open. Friday morning tickets are sold out—remaining sessions are filling fast. Tickets are available online or at the door, with advance booking recommended.
