We are so delighted to announce the next guest in the Culford Events Series for 2025: talented ceramicist Arjan Van Dal, joining us for a talk on Thursday June 12th and a specialist workshop on Saturday June 14th.

Arjan van Dal is a Dutch potter based in London, working primarily in porcelain. His work finds itself at the crossroads of craft, art and design. Colour and form are the celebrated elements in Arjan’s work. The white porcelain is his canvas that is pigmented and shaped, mainly on the potter’s wheel. His work plays with the idea of the manufactured though formed with his own hands. Subtle details uncover the handmade nature where colour and form create playfulness with a delicate touch. The final pieces are polished intensively for a highly tactile experience and to increase the perception of the colour depth embedded in the material.
