Congo Crafts, is holding its 34th Annual Exhibition, showcasing a
diverse range of functional and decorative stoneware ceramics and
paintings on canvas. Congo Crafts Gallery opened in 1980, and has been
continuously exhibiting works ever since. All the ceramics and
paintings have been created by Jim Simms in his Congo studio, and he
has been working in the arts for over forty years. Strongly influenced
by Japanese, Korean and Chinese ceramics, Jim continues to produce a
range of beautiful pieces, and is noted for the quality of his glazes.
Each year he experiments with new matt and gloss finishes, resulting
in a varied and stunning palette of rich and more subtle colourings.
Each wood-fired piece is uniquely burnished by the ash and flames of
the firing. Jim has many happy local, national and international
clients who have admired and collected his work over a number of
years. His paintings are likewise an evolution in free colour form,
and also inspired by Asian aesthetics. A range of fibre and stoneware
ceramic jewellery pieces created by Amadis Lacheta will also be
available. Gallery and exhibition is closed on Tuesdays
