With a vernacular that is part humour and knowledge of art history, Gerry Wedd creates vessels with a special accent. Pieces inspired by the Victoria & Albert Museum’s collection are complemented by quintessentially “Gerry” hand-built forms and ‘scratch board’ drawings from a career of almost 40 years. ‘Kitschen Man’ will also showcase works from Jo Crawford, Peter Johnson, Philip Hart, Lesa Farrant, Lincoln Kirby Bell, Chris Headley, Toni Warburton and Stephen Benwell, and will tour 12 more venues until 2019.
