PAST EXHIBITIONS
November 2023
J&J RAWLINS– Cromwell Place, London
J&J Rawlin returns to Cromwell Place with an exquisite group exhibition which focuses on the interwoven nature of collecting Modern British Art and Studio Ceramics.
Drawn mainly from Private Collections, this exhibition investigates the ways the stories, individuals and themes for each work link up across different media and decades and how the juxtapositions of apparently very different pieces of newer and historical work are being embraced by collectors now. William created new work especially for this exhibition.

A stunning new ceramics exhibition featuring William opens in Kendal.
Curated by Rebecca Scott, Gallery Director at Cross Lane Projects, this new group exhibition foregrounds the diverse ceramic practices of four leading contemporary artists.
Cross Lane Gallery is one of several contemporary galleries showcasing an exciting mix of clay work at the moment, positioning what perhaps previously would have been seen as ‘pottery’ in dialogue with more conceptual art works.
