Events in Rochdale - Exhibitions

Natasha Daintry is a contemporary ceramicist working in porcelain from her studio in London. Her work focuses on vessel forms and is concerned with colour and materiality. We have recently acquired a major piece of Natasha's work, Ocean. For this exhibition, Natasha will present a new group of vessels alongside Ocean and another work, Small Yellow Ocean.

Ocean has been jointly acquired with Gallery Oldham; Harris Museum & Art Gallery, Preston; Tullie House Museum & Art Gallery, Carlisle and Nottingham Castle Museum & Art Gallery through the Contemporary Art Society's acquisition scheme with support from the Art Fund. It will be shown at each venue in turn, beginning at Gallery Oldham to 16 March 2013 in the exhibition Tradition: Historic and Modern Pots before coming to Touchstones Rochdale.

Penny Leaver Green makes sewn pictures from fabric and thread, often incorporating found objects.

This exhibition features two new bodies of work exploring both invasive plant species and the (now illegal) collection of birds' eggs; each presenting us with the unintended consequences of a Victorian obsession with collection and display.

Starts 10am until 6pm - maybe later into the evening - Please check our website as we update event additions and times.
