Maud and Mabel

Contemporary art gallery in Hampstead Village, London.

Founded in 2012 by Karen Whiteley in Hampstead Village, London, Maud and Mabel is a carefully curated space. It unites contemporary aesthetic with ancient craft in every guise from ceramics and wood to glass, textiles and precious metals and stones. These pieces are rooted in shibumi, an aspect of Japanese aesthetics that balances simplicity and complexity with perfection and imperfection. Where e

legant forms boast rough tactile qualities and intricately engineered artistry is performed with refined subtlety. Alongside showcasing a wide selection of works, Maud & Mabel works closely with pioneering artists from around the globe to create special collections, exhibitions and collaborations that honour both the artist and spectator in the gallery and online, as well as supplying and working with designers on major projects.

MALCOM MARTIN & GAYNOR DOWLING

_______________

Malcolm Martin and Gaynor Dowling’s collection explores captivating avenues of dimensionality and mark-making, with intricately etched surfaces and deceptive frontal forms. Both artists work closely through every stage of their making process, evident in their fluid approach to woodwork.

Working together since 1997, their mark-making is remarkably refined, frequently embodying different forms and sizes to explore their process further. This use of meticulous and repeated carving, in a manner similar to drawing, results in the textured and patterned surfaces which identify their making process. The final pieces have a monumental yet quiet presence in the space around them, commanded by their scale and weight, yet softened by their deeply considered carvings.

Formed from English hardwood, the pieces celebrate the natural character and integrity of the material. A poetic sensibility is communicated in the juxtaposition between their strong, sculptural clarity and muted, contemplative surfaces.

POPALINI & JEZANDO

_______________

Popalini & Jezando’s collection present elegant pieces that are both timeless and captivating, exploring a harmonious balance between simplicity and depth. Traditional forms are complemented through iron-wash exteriors and ash glazes, introducing a juxtaposing sense of modernity and antiquity.

The ceramic duo pair technical complexity with visual simplicity and functionality, ultimately celebrating the materiality of the clay. Many of their pieces are enriched with irregular surface markings that occur during wood-firing, conveying their making process. They produce a range of teaware, including teapots and teabowls, whilst also reflecting their cohesive artistry in sculptural vases and vessels.

Deep, earthy tones continuously show up in their work, communicating a natural sophistication and deeper connection to the clay’s raw condition, while surfaces possess a graceful sheen, effectively demonstrating the Popalini & Jezando’s impeccable craftsmanship.

GLENN DANE

_______________

Glenn Dane’s collection is a celebration of extraordinary breadth of form, surface and character. Moving effortlessly between sculptural vessels, shallow forms and finely balanced objects, each piece possesses its own distinct silhouette while remaining unmistakably part of the same thoughtful practice.

Experimentation and exploration lies at the heart of Glenns practice. Surfaces are carved, scorched, stitched, stained and layered, revealing a remarkable richness of texture and tone. Deep charred blacks sit alongside warm natural timbers, soft earthy pigments and weathered greys, creating a collection that feels both cohesive and endlessly varied. Every work invites a different response, some are quiet and understated, others bold and deeply tactile.

What unites the collection is Glenn’s sensitivity to the material itself. Rather than imposing a fixed outcome, the making remains guided by the character of the wood, allowing its natural movement, grain and imperfections to inform the final work. It is this balance between curiosity and restraint that gives the collection its distinctive voice.

HAJEONG LEE ROGERS

________________

We are delighted to introduce Hajeong Lee Rogers to the gallery with a special collection of ceramic works.

Hajeong Lee Rogers spent much of her childhood and early years in Seoul, studying at Sungshin Women’s University in 1995. During her time there, she studied craft as an umbrella discipline and soon discovered her undeniable adoration for ceramics. She harnessed this skill and graduated with a BA in 2001 and an MA in 2003. She returned to this same university as a teaching assistant and subsequently became a lecturer. Whilst teaching, Hajeong focused on creating large ceramic works, and soon received the National Award for Craft Art in 2005. Her practice relocated with her to the UK in 2011, setting up her own studio alongside her husband’s workshop in rural Wales, where she still works today. This transition in craft and scenery reinforced her love for the timeless beauty of functional ceramics. In 2021, Hajeong was elected as a Fellow of the Craft Potters Association.

Her work utilises an array of traditional Korean Buncheong techniques, beloved for its experimental nature, both rustic and dynamic. The technique can be identified in Hajeong’s work through her use of inlay, white slip and iron brush work, creating a deeply thoughtful sense of depth and solidity in her pieces. Her vessels possess an intriguing complexity in their forms, developed through her use of floral and fluid markings upon rigid and structural surfaces. Many of the interiors and bases of her works reveal the raw high iron clay beneath, complementing her adept use of grey and white glazes and slips. Hajeong’s Buncheong ware reflects her beloved appreciation for refined craftsmanship and the beauty of timeless ceramics.

We are so pleased to introduce Saeam Kwon to Maud & Mabel with a poetic collection of drinking vessels and vases, thoughtfully crafted for everyday rituals. Defined by beautiful, crisp silhouettes, the collection balances deep tones of steel grey and metallic black with soft matte cream finishes, and expressive glazed details. Each piece embodies a quiet elegance, celebrating a harmony between form, texture, and function.

__________________

Kwon is a Korean ceramicist based in Berlin, practising in clay since 2009. Focused on creating fine stoneware, their work combines minimalist forms with traditional sensibilities, using dark, textured clay contrasted by delicate details and lightness. After moving to Berlin in 2017, they work as a full-time ceramicist and part-time Potter’s wheel instructor, creating all their pieces in a little studio in Berlin-Friedrichshain. A significant part of their practice explores objects for the Gongfu tea ceremony, reflecting a deep respect for process, material, and restraint.

Each work possesses a delicate form, with dainty sculpting and meticulous shaping. The use of dark clays juxtaposes the lightness of the pieces and plays with motions of shadow and light. Lighter highlights complement the deep charcoal clay, while softer stone-like pieces gain depth through shading details on the clay’s edge. They pay significant attention to proportion and weightlessness, with each piece harnessing a true sense of craftsmanship and skill, transforming otherwise simple tableware. Saeam also occasionally works in lighter clays, using translucent ochre glazes to enhance the ceramics’ form and depth. Through thoughtful pieces, Saeam seeks to bring the act of tea drinking closer to everyday life.

There is a quiet poetry in the meeting of these works by Yoko Ozawa and Kumiko & Michihiro Domoto.

Deep, smoky, metallic like tones absorb the light and slowly reveal intricate surfaces within their sculptural forms. Strong yet serene, each piece carries a quiet sense of presence, beautifully balanced between weight and delicacy.

The dialogue between the natural and the hand made feels all the more poignant. Soft, delicate petals against rich, bold forms. A gentle reminder that contrast so often gives rise to harmony.

KENJI OMORI | CHŌWA | 3 - 18 JULY

Kenji Omori’s pieces communicate his design in background, and his integrity as a ceramicist. Much like the other artists featured in ‘Chowa’, his work explores ideas of rawness and refinement, precision and refinement, tradition and modernity. He sculpts refined and thoughtful pieces, leaving the exterior clay in its raw form to observe the way it may change in its surroundings, allowing his works to develop their own patina and character over time.
Omori makes his debut in the gallery through his many bowls, cups, and vessels, all embodying intentionality in their carefully controlled contours, gentle interior glazes, and external tonal markings. He understands the tactile nature of clay and honours the technicality of sculptural form, allowing him to introduce traditional craft into contemporary spaces. In doing so, his pieces contrast and compliment experimental works by Lisa Hashimoto and Ryo Watanabe in the exhibition.

AKIKO YANAGAWA | CHŌWA | 3 – 18 JULY

Akiko Yanagawa makes her introduction to the gallery with an intricate collection of vessels, bowls and plates that effortlessly mimic organic erosion. By embracing unpredictability, Yanagawa’s work communicates a relationship between intention and natural forces. Her vessels are hand or mould shaped and then submerged underwater. Through this process of allowing the natural rhythms of the water to further define the contours and markings of the pieces, the coarse textures and irregular impressions on the clay assume to be that of an ancient relic.

Yanagawa’s works appear to have aged over centuries, achieved through her combined use of deep cobalt and murky grey glazes, as well as a daintiness in her hand shaping that introduces and essence of rarity. Her works portray a desire to understand the world’s natural forces through craft, embodying a fine balance between fragility and ruggedness.

AIRI KAGAMIHARA | CHŌWA | 3 – 18 JULY

Presenting a refined sophistication in our current exhibition, Chōwa, we are pleased to introduce Airi Kagamihara to our collection. Her work combines elegant, precise silhouettes with subtle organic deviations. Created using both hand building and mould techniques, the soft ivory surfaces are coated with intricate cracks (crazing), a subtle and poetic balance of soft and harsh elements, precision and organic variation.

Kagamihara’s work focuses on the relationship between clay, touch and the gradual changes that occur through daily use. Using coarse clay and carefully controlled firing methods, she creates softly textured vessels with weathered surfaces that emphasise the natural character of the material. Her work is both understated and deeply tactile, inviting a slower and more intimate experience of use.
