Peter Hayes
Rufford Craft Centre, Nottinghamshire
June - July 2008
I was delighted to have been invited by Peter to open this major solo exhibition of his work. I feel that Peter is a remarkable talent and something of a National Treasure. This exhibition was one of the largest ever presented by Peter, and as I said in my opening presentation I thought that this exhibition will be seen by many as a seminal exhibition by Peter, and that many of the pieces will be viewed as master works. Peter's work I think will be judged kindly by future generations and I think he will be as highly regarded as Hans Coper, Lucie Rie and Bernard Leach are regarded by today's generation of ceramics collector's.
A general view of the exhibition
Centre pieces of the exhibtion, these three tall totemic forms were a real tour de force!
