February
at The Marle Gallery
New
work on display for February includes more sculpture from
Dido Crosby and Ian Middleton, pictures from Bronwen Coe,
and "picture bowls" from potter Nick Hillyard.

sculptor Ian Middleton's work can be found in a number of
significant collections. He has shown widely from 1977 to the

Contemporary Art and The Barbican.

pupil of Bernard Leach. For the last 2 years Nick has been
engrossed in the making of a series of picture bowls, crafting
painstakingly detailed scenes from his days living in London, onto
the concave surface of the bowl. The result is a charming, unique
and highly crafted ceramic
