John Dermer: Potter

National Gallery of Victoria: Australia

July 2019

A really handsome generous exhibition of ceramic work by this potter. Fascinating early work completed in England at Bernard Leach's studio. 

Admire NGV's description signage explaining the technique of salt glazing as being both a pragmatic functional technique but with sublime results.
