MAKER IN FOCUS: Craig Underhill 14 January - 25 February Craig’s paintings and ceramics evoke the feeling of landscapes that he has visited or travelled through. His work is influenced by the inconsequential visual effects that are created in landscapes by the repetitive and methodical actions of humankind.

Craig uses the surface of his slab built vessel forms like a canvas onto which he applies mark-making techniques, layers of engobe, slip and underglaze colours. Exploring ideas through drawing is an important part of his making process, which Craig tends to do before committing himself to the ceramic pieces.
