Chair of the Craft Potters’ Association and lead potter at the Leach Pottery in St. Ives, Cornwall, Jack Doherty is an energetic and key figure in British ceramics.
Preview: 7-9pm, Thursday 29 July
Born in Coleraine in 1948, Jack studied ceramics at the Ulster College of Art and Design. Curated by Marta Donaghey, Contemporary Ceramics London, this exhibition in Belfast is a showcase for a new body of work.
“In these days of technology and gadgets that allow us tohave so many experiences ‘by proxy’ in a virtual space, people like Jack Doherty are very important to keep us in touch with human creativity and the need to express it”, Marta Donaghey, Curator.
