MIKE DODD (British, 1943-) is a highly regarded British studio potter, known for his beautifully crafted stoneware ceramics that combine simplicity of form with a strong appreciation of traditional pottery techniques. Working primarily with stoneware, he creates functional vessels characterised by their elegant shapes, subtle glazes and earthy, natural tones. His work reflects the influence of the Leach tradition, valuing the relationship between craftsmanship, material and everyday use, while retaining a distinctive character of its own.
Born in 1943, Dodd was influenced by the work of Bernard Leach, Shoji Hamada and Michael Cardew. He has exhibited widely and his ceramics are represented in important collections, including the Victoria and Albert Museum and the British Crafts Council Collection
While in the village of Corfe Castle, on his way to a teashop with his parents, the young Dodd spotted a potter at work. He stopped, mesmerised by what he saw. “The image of that potter burnt itself into my mind, and according to my mother’s later account I bored them rigid, talking excitedly about everything this white coated magician had done.”

Andrew Marshall earthenware pourer, early piece with beautiful yellow glaze with green splashing.
Andrew Marshall (b.1952, St Ives, UK) is a ceramic artist whose work reflects a deep engagement with both Eastern and Western pottery traditions. The son of the prominent Leach pottery William Marshall, Andrew spent much of his childhood at the Pottery in St Ives, absorbing the philosophy and practice of ‘East meets West’ and meeting many visiting Japanese potters.
Trained as a chemist, he lived and worked in Lublin, Poland, during the early 1970s, developing a lasting appreciation for the pottery traditions of northern and eastern Europe. Returning to Cornwall in the late 1970s, he assisted his father in designing and building a large twin-chambered Japanese oil/wood-fired kiln at Lelant near St Ives. This kiln enabled extensive experimentation with oriental glazes, including ash and celadons.

CHARLES BOUND (b1939-)
Born in USA with a degree in English Literature he taught, wrote and travelled before coming to ceramics later in life in 1983.
Bound’s bold and assertive work, David Whiting wrote, is imbued ‘with something of post-war American energy and his own stridency. These are awkward objects, making no concession to conventional taste’.
Many years ago I was introduced to his work at the Gnarly Dudes exhibitions on Dartmoor (Nic Collins, Chuck Shwarz, Sven Bayer, Jon Fellows). Jim Robison at the Booth Gallery in Holmfirth was also a regular stop off to see Charles's work. He has exhibited all over the world and was represented in London by The Hart Gallery.

Nic Collins (b. 1958) is a British studio potter who lives and works in Devon, on the edge of Dartmoor. Largely self-taught, he began experimenting with clay, building kilns and making pottery wheels in his late teens. He studied Studio Ceramics at Derby College of Art in 1985–86, followed by periods working in potteries in Italy and Germany. Nic Collins established his pottery at Powder Mills in Devon in the late 1980s, where he developed his distinctive approach to wood firing and built one of Britain’s early large anagama kilns. His stoneware pots are shaped on a traditional kick wheel and celebrated for their simple, strong forms and the rich, unpredictable marks created by flame, ash and smoke. He is currently represented by Goldmark Gallery.

Padraig MacMiadhachain (Irish 1929 – 2017)
Born in Downpatrick, Northern Ireland. He studied at Belfast College of Art, National College of Art in Dublin, then studied at the Academy of Art, Kracow. In 1953 he settled in Swanage, Dorset. He achieved many painting awards and scholarships. He exhibited extensively, primarily throughout the UK and Ireland, and his paintings are in many private and public collections in the UK and overseas.
“….if ever there was an artist who revelled in, and made the very most of, the painterly choices to hand, here he was, his seven decades of work encompassing an astonishing and mercurial variety of styles and subject matter from the sparely abstract to the exuberantly naïve, the sombrely expressive to the carefree lyrical but always, as he once so engagingly put it - the landscape or whatever I am standing in front of, not and never has been, quite so easy to achieve as that makes it all sound, of course.” Nicholas Usherwood 2018

Patrick Hayman (1915–1988) was a British artist and poet whose distinctive paintings combined rich colour, symbolic imagery and a strong sense of personal expression. In 1953 Hayman's first solo show was at Gallery One in London. From 1958–63 Hayman founded and edited the magazine 'The Painter and Sculptor', influential in its advocacy of figurative art. In the 60's he taught at Falmouth School of Art & then Croyden School of Art. In 1988, the year of his death 'Painted Poems' was published by Louise Hallett Gallery. He exhibited widely and his work can be found in numerous museums including Tate St. Ives and the Museum of New Zealand.

'Lady with Admirer' is seen here with two pots by Dawn Harvey.
Dawn Harvey’s work is known for its hand-sculpted, printed and grooved surfaces. Soft textured white glazes and expressive incised linear motifs.
Dawn's studio is in the Vendée region of France. She makes exquisite stoneware and porcelain one off pieces and a range of domestic ware.
Born in Portsmouth in 1963, She studied Textile Design from West Sussex College and then went on to study Ceramic Design in North London before becoming a full-time professional artist. Dawn Harvey

Brian Graham 'Green Moon Rising' new little picture to feature in Eclectic Eye II. Opening 27 November - 6 December.

Brian Graham is a Dorset-based artist whose atmospheric paintings explore landscape, memory and the passage of time. Deeply connected to the Dorset landscape of his childhood, his work is influenced by archaeology and the traces of ancient human activity within the land. Through expressive layers of colour, texture and mark-making, Graham creates evocative landscapes that suggest both the physical world and its deeper history. His work is held in numerous public and private collections and he has exhibited widely in Britain and Europe.

Prunella Clough (1919–1999) was a British painter and printmaker, known for her distinctive modernist approach to everyday objects and industrial landscapes. Her work often focused on overlooked subjects such as machinery, fishing boats, containers and urban structures, transforming them through subtle colour, texture and abstract forms. Clough developed a quiet, atmospheric style that combined observation with abstraction, and she is regarded as an important figure in post-war British art.
Seen here with a group of French vintage pots.
All of these pieces will be featured in the next Eclectic Eye exhibition in November. We only ever exhibit things that we truly love. If they don’t sell, we’re more than happy to keep them and continue to enjoy them; if they do walk out the door to their next custodian, we know we’ll miss them. For us, it’s all about finding and sharing pieces that we genuinely love.
