Description

You're invited to join us for a Private View of our new Petrie Museum exhibition, One Pot Per Day by artist Kate Keara Pelen on Tuesday 29 November from 6-8pm.

“Every day, for 365 days, from January 1st to December 31st 2015, I produced one soft hand-made vessel using simple crochet techniques. The project came out of the desire to find a manageable way of sustaining a commitment to my creative output during a period when extensive time in the studio was not going to be possible. The vessel-like shape emerged naturally out of freeform experiments in spiral and tubular forms. The notion of a ‘pot’ allowed for sufficient variety and flexibility in the making to keep my attention for twelve months, while still functioning as a coherent collection or family of objects.” Artist Kate Keara Pelen.

Drinks will be served in the main museum space.
