Youth Day !
As we celebrate Youth Day this Friday the 16th of June, it seems apt to bring you the latest on Ardmore Ceramic Art’s Winter School. In its third year, the programme runs for three months from May to July and aims to uncover new talent and give a lucky few the opportunity to hone their skills and potentially gain full-time employment at Ardmore.
This year’s intake of 30 students under the guidance of Fee Halsted, Wiseman Ndlovu and Megan Berning will be taught drawing, painting and sculpting, as well as business, art history, marketing and finance. As Wiseman Ndlovu says, “It gives me great pleasure to grow more artists for Ardmore, to make Ardmore live on, when I and others are gone.”

There’s still time to see our Savuti Dance!
Are you in London this week? Pop into our latest exhibition at Patrick Mavros on the Fulham Road. Leave the hustle and bustle of the city behind and immerse yourself in an African wonderland: majestic leopards, mischievous monkeys and ancient crocs flirt with squawking hoopees and elegant cheetahs; Zulu Riders look statuesque atop their animal carriage. All the works are inspired by Ardmore Design’s Zambezi fabric collection and The Ardmore Collection Cole & Son wallpaper range. The exhibition runs until this Sunday.
