Celebrating 51 Years at Booth House
Booth House Gallery is proud to take part once again as a fringe venue. Founded in 1975 by Jim and Liz Robison, the gallery has been a fixture of the local arts community for more than half a century. Set in the hillside hamlet of Booth House, it remains Jim’s primary studio and a place where visitors can experience ceramics in a working environment shaped by landscape, material and long practice.
This year’s Artweek exhibition marks 51 years of making, teaching and collaboration. Jim is joined by a group of accomplished ceramicists who have studied or worked with him over the decades. Their work spans slab‑built forms, refined wheel‑thrown vessels and bold extruded pieces, each artist bringing a distinct approach to shape, surface and firing. Stoneware glazes, slips and textured finishes feature throughout, with pieces designed to be handled, used and enjoyed. A new large‑scale sculpture by Jim will form the centrepiece of the display.
Exhibiting artists:
- Jim Robison
- Nigel Hoyle
- Moz Khokhar
- Ian Marsh
- Chris Jenkins
