New Exhibition at the Burton Art Gallery. 'Water Vessels – Sampling the Torridge' Ceramics by Rupert Johnstone

A new exhibition of contemporary ceramics by South West based artist Rupert Johnstone opens at the Burton on 16 December.

In 2022, Rupert Johnstone was commissioned by the Burton at Bideford Art Gallery and Museum to respond to the environment and climate change through the medium of ceramics. The result is a fascinating and visually striking exhibition of clay pots with significant local relevance.

The exhibition is the culmination of a year-long project which saw the artist walk the length of the River Torridge collecting water and clay from which to make a series of ceramic vessels and glazes. What emerges is a document of his journey along the banks of the river and a poignant commentary on the environment, geology and ecology of the River Torridge from its source in North West Devon to the estuarine mouth in Bideford.

Based just outside Exeter, Rupert Johnstone is an artist, maker and teacher who works principally in clay and exhibits his work widely in craft galleries both within the UK and abroad. This is the artist’s second collaboration with the Burton at Bideford.

The exhibition is open daily from 16 December and runs until February 2024. Entrance is free
