As part of our York trip we visited ‘Making Waves - The Art of Japanese Woodblock Print’ at the York Art Gallery. Fascinating to see a wide range of art with obvious influences on modern design #YorkArtGallery #MakingWaves #JapaneseWoodblockPrint #Woodblock #Art
I LOVE Japanese woodblock printing. On Thursday, I had the privilege to be invited to the Press Preview of ‘Making Waves: The Art of Japanese Woodblock Print’ at #YorkArtGallery.

We went to the brand new exhibition of Japanese Woodblock prints at #YorkArtGallery, featuring one of the original prints of Hokusai's 'Great Wave of Kanagawa'. I thought it was outstanding, and me and the 13yo both enjoyed making our own four-layer stamped 'Great Wave' at the end.
Female Torso sculpture (with the wooden former behind it).
The Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse sculpture.
A display from the 'Wall of Women' in York Art Gallery's Centre of Ceramic Art.
York-born artist Harland Miller's canvas 'York, So Good They Named It Once' in the style of a book cover.
Went on to check out the #HaroldGosney: Making and Materials sculpture exhibition (particularly taken with Female Torso and Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse), before exploring the rest of the gallery. Well worth a visit!

Isaac Button, oneof the last traditional potters in Yorkshire, he could transform a ton of clay a day into pots! Firing his kiln was days of work. He proudly stated that he never left a pub the same day he entered it.

A ceramic piece of creamy white clay figures sits on a gallery shelf. It depicts five girls, moulded in a line with black underglaze painted on giving sharp details and character.
‘Five Schoolgirls’ by Susan and Richard Parkinson. I love the spare use of detail which nonetheless conveys great character.

Ceramic portrait of an older bearded man, he holds a piece of pottery in his left hand. He holds his chin with his right hand, his index finger pointing to he mouth. He looks deep in thought.
WA Ismay collected 3600 pots and other items by ceramic artists from the 50s until his death in 2001. His collection was donated to #YorkArtGallery. This piece, by Peter Meanly, celebrates the man and his passion for #pottery.
