Penny Withers: Scale
Drawing inspiration from the rock formations of the Peak District, ceramicist Penny Withers has created this body of work through which she experiments with making larger pieces, playing with scale and with the physicality of building large sectional pieces. Penny worked with local climbers to find out more about the intricate surface details on rocky outcrops such as Stanage and Curbar Edge, bringing elements of these forms directly into her work.
