A Lancaster ceramicist is displaying his works in a new art exhibition in the North West.
James Hake has been working with local fine art specialists Gavagan Art and English Lakes Hotels to bring his contemporary designs to the latest
‘Art in the Atrium’ gallery at Low Wood Bay Resort & Spa.
James is an established ceramic artist who works from a converted barn in rural North Lancashire.
He uses oriental glazes to create distinctive wheel-thrown ceramics which reflect the dynamic processes of the natural world.
Having studied design at Manchester Metropolitan University, he honed his technique and individual style in ceramics in Ireland. Inspired by
the work of English potter Edward Hughes, James also developed a keen interest in Japanese ceramics, joining a younger generation of potters
who are exploring Anglo-Oriental aesthetics.
He has exhibited his work at a host of venues including Ceramic Art London 2025, the industry showcase event for the world’s best potters,
the Stratford Gallery, the Brewery Arts Centre in Kendal and the Oxford Ceramics Fair. In academia, James has also held the post of visiting
lecturer at Manchester Metropolitan University.
James' ceramics are being displayed alongside the abstract paintings of renowned artist Sir Terry Frost RA and his son Anthony Frost.
The latest exhibition in the ‘Art in the Atrium’ gallery at Low Wood Bay runs throughout the summer until the end of September
