Combining high-level circus skills with pathos, humour and beauty, Jess Love creates a vision that is at once delicately touching, visually enchanting and heart-warmingly playful. Dark clowning, dirty acrobatics and surreal sideshow feats go hand-in-hand with slapstick, roller-skating, hula hoops, skipping and hopscotch acrobatics – phew! With crafted storytelling and awe inspiring images on a bed of roses and broken glass, it’s so sweet you’ll want to squeal!

A collaboration between pop-up restaurant Fabulous 698b and specialist ceramics gallery Thrown brings a unique supper club experience to Highgate this summer.
Corresponding with an exhibition in the gallery celebrating tableware, the dinner will take place within the exhibition space with six creatively crafted courses served on handmade ceramics by the ceramicists involved.
Plus each evening, 2 of the emerging and established ceramists will be present at the table to personally present their collections.
Join them at the table for a £60 6-course menu plus complimentary cocktail, plated up on their work especially made for the event.
The experience will start at 7 pm with an introduction of the exhibition followed by the fabulous dinner. There will a selection of wines available for purchase at the bar. Should you wish to take any of the original ceramics involved home, there will also be the opportunity to purchase the pieces at an exclusive price.

You are warmly invited to the private view of ‘Ripple Effect’, an exhibition exploring freedom and control.
The show brings together artists who allow intuition and chance to guide their processes, including: Great Pottery Throw Down winner Ryan Barrett’s 3D printed ceramic forms, the meditative ceramic sculptures of Matt Sherratt, award-winning ceramicist Jo Davies’ fluid bowls and vases and Beverly Isaac’s spontaneous, action-painting still lifes.
All four of the artists will be joining us for the evening with each giving a short introductory talk about their work at 7.30pm.
All welcome!

Join local artist, Jo Pearl, ceramic sculptor and animation filmmaker, for a playful workshop that breathes clay into life while exploring OmVed Gardens’ flora and micro fauna. Inspired by her body of work ‘Unearthed’ on view at the Alchemy exhibition, ceramic artist and animation filmmaker Jo Pearl will host a playful workshop inviting participants to sculpt the fascinating microbes and mini critters that live beneath healthy soil and bring them to life using simple stop motion. This workshop is suitable for any age from 8 to 108. Participants must have a smart phone with the iMotion app (free to download) and be able to use it unsupervised. Under 18s must be accompanied by an adult. “Breathing life into clay and clay into life – has become my definition of animation. I have become fascinated with the soil that is at the root of the ceramic discipline, enchanted by the truly overwhelming richness of life beneath our feet. I celebrate that abundance here with ‘Unearthed’, a project that zooms us down and focuses in on the choreography of ever-more tiny beings that inhabit the soil, a largely unknown place that holds one of the keys to life on earth.” – Jo Pearl |
