'THE FIRE RISES TWICE'
The Museum of East Asian Art, Bath, 10 July - 18 September 2000

'The Fire Rises Twice' was an exhibition of work by students and staff from both the undergraduate and postgraduate ceramics courses at UWE. The students went to the museum and handled a range of ancient artefacts from the collection's Chinese exhibits. Both the student pots and the exhibits which inspired them are on display.

The pot illustrated above was made by Paul Sandammeer, a first year student on the MA, Ceramics: Making & Archiving. The images below feature work by two of the exhibitors: more images will be available soon.

With thanks to Michelle Morgan at the Museum for all her help.

This 'Standing Figure' was made by Ed Silverton, a third year ceramics student at UWE. His work can also be seen by clicking on the link to the Melt Down exhibition, (below).

'Chinese Horses' were part of a group of pieces made by Ed Silverton in response to Tang figures in the Chinese collections at the Museum of East Asian Art.

This figure was made by Paul Sandameer, a first year student on the Ceramics MA course at UWE. It was made in response to a Chinese figure in the museum, which he photographed and then manipulated using computer software to accentuate certain aspects of the original.

These figures were also made by Paul Sandameer. This image includes all of the pieces included in the exhibition, as well as others not on show.
