Ceramic Bears

CoCA (Centre of Ceramic Art)

We visited during the York Residents Festival, it was fairly busy! There are displays crammed with unique, interesting ceramics. These bears (above) caught my eye and also the rainbow of ceramics. 'The Lumber Room: Unimagined Treasures', Curated by the artist Mark Hearld was very interesting. You can also see 'Melanie' (below) by Turner Prize winner Grayson Perry. centreofceramicart.org.uk
