Strongly recommended"......."Ceramics show of the year" ......"From simple monoprints, lino-cuts and rubber stamps, to perfect photographic reproductions and computer manipulated images, Hot off the Press demonstrates the full range of printing techniques which can be utilised with ceramic materials. It also represents the diversity of ceramic forms onto which print can be applied- from transfer decorated plates, domestic ware and vessels, to wall based ceramic art, installation and sculpture." Emma Shaw, Studio Pottery, Aug/Sept 1996.

"A display of much wit and imagination." Ruth Pavey, Crafts Magazine Sep/Oct 1996.

What excited me when I first saw it was that it didnąt look like a ceramics show. It looked abit like a mad jumble sale. The conventions werenąt there... Richard Slee in Art Monthly (No: 02) on Hot off the Press.
