Ceramics include large smoked fired pots by Karen Williamson, carved porcelain bowls from Jane Smith, and the decorative domestic slipware by the gallery owner himself, Hans Ullrich. Tiles from the distinguished Maggie Berkowitz are also featured.

Open 11am-6pm until Christmas; in January, Wednesday-Saturday.
