Marston Pottery - 2008 - Exhibition
Full marks must go to Phil and Lynn Rogers for their efforts in staging this wonderful exhibition of pottery by Hamada Shoji, his apprentice Shimaoka Tatsuzo and his eldest son Hamada Shinsaku. Long will I treasure the experience of being able to touch and feel these very special pots, to see so many pieces in one place outside Japan was a rare privilege.
A selection of Phil's latest work was exhibited at John Bedding's St. Ives Ceramics gallery in March 2008. The exhibition was scheduled to coincide with the re-opening of the Leach Pottery and provided visiting studio pottery enthusiasts with a welcome extra attraction to see during their visit to St. Ives.
