CERAMICS COMPANY JOINS THE CREATIVE FAMILY AT
FRIAR GATE STUDIOS
A local ceramic artist has made the move to Friar Gate Studios after receiving his biggest ever commission.
Paul Cummins Ceramics joins the rapidly expanding family of creative industries housed within the Studios on Ford Street in the city.
The move coincides with news that Paul has been chosen to create an English flower garden made up of up to 10,000 ceramic flowers, each crafted by hand for the Cultural Olympics 2012.
Paul established the business in 2009 and since then his exclusive pieces and large scale ceramic installations have gained widespread critical acclaim. He now boasts an international client base with clients in America, Ireland and Australia.
He is known for his distinctive landscape installations and traditional pancheons, which feature exuberant flower glazes.
Commenting on the decision to move to Friar Gate Studios, Paul said:
“I am delighted to have joined the creative community at Friar Gate Studios. Receiving the commission to work on the project for the 2012 Cultural Olympics was the catalyst we needed to make the move to the Studios.
“The facilities here are excellent and allow enable the company to take the next exciting step in its development.”
Ann Bhatti, centre manager at Friar Gate Studios, added:
“I would like to welcome Paul to Friar Gate Studios. His work is already well known to many of our tenants and I would like to wish him every success with his future projects.”
