Bryan Albright - personal ceramics collection
|
The first batch of 25 pieces are In-Store NOW.
The EBPC is honoured to have been asked by Bryan Albright to help distribute his entire personal collection of ceramics. A UK artist and a pioneer of European bonsai pottery, Bryan Albright dedicated his life to ceramics, especially bonsai ceramics, which all began over 4 decades ago. Reflecting his passion for ceramics, for most of his life Bryan also collected fascinating and beautiful ceramics from around the world. As Bryan is sadly not well, he has decided to part from his ceramics collection - and allow others to benefit from his lifelong passion. With over 200 pieces, including those from the Ming, Tang and Song dynasty of China, antique and vintage Japanese, to Bryan's own work and that of other European potters, the pieces include studio pottery, bonsai ceramics, and a wealth of other collectable ceramics. |

Rest In Peace - Andrew Pearson. 1968 - 2024

It is with a very heavy heart I write about the tragic passing of a good friend, a great man, and a very influential bonsai ceramicist. On the morning of Tuesday 3rd December Andrew Pearson passed away peacefully, surrounded by family, at his home in Kent. An original founding member of the EBPC, and a close personal friend, Andrew Pearson of Stone Monkey Ceramics will be long remembered by many for his kind heart, his extraordinary craftsmanship, and the impact ....
