Tall Vase Height: 29cm Diameter at mouth: 9.5cm SOLD Batik and collages by Penny Laird Born in Maidstone, Kent, Studied Fine Art Sculpture at Sunderland University, George worked for a number of years as a props maker in the theatre and then as the Assistant Display Manager for John Lewis in Newcastle on Tyne, where his love of textiles and patterns was born.  During this time his passion for ceramics was reawakened by the work of Janice Tchalenko, Sabina Teuteberg and Betty Woodman. In 1990 he set up his pottery in Newcastle on Tyne. Since then he has been supplying Shops and Galleries, predominantly in the North of England and Scotland, but also in Northern Ireland and the rest of the U.K, with work in many exhibitions nationwide. George’s new work is retro in design. It has colour and glaze reaction as a major theme but is also concerned with texture, shape and the fitting of pattern around different vessels. The pink, yellow and green ranges are strongly influenced by patterns from the 60’s, created using wax resist similar to Batik techniques. The gallery has original work by George Ormerod for sale.  George Ormerod George Ormerod George Ormerod George Ormerod Height: 32cm Diameter at widest point: 15cm SOLD Large Lidded Jar/Urn Tall Jug Height: 29.5cm Diameter at mouth: 9.5cm SOLD George Ormerod Beakers Height: 12.5cm Diameter at mouth: 7cm £20 each George Ormerod Platter Diameter: 36cm SOLD George Ormerod Height: 16cm Diameter: 7cm £25 Vinaigrette with lid George Ormerod George Ormerod Lidded pot Large version Height: 10cm Diameter of lid: 13cm £35 Small version: Height: 4.5cm Diameter of lid: 9cm £25 ‘Organic’ Vase Large version Height: 34.5cm Diameter of ‘bulb’: 11cm £57 Medium version: Height: 20cm Diameter of ‘bulb’: 9cm £30 Small version: Height: 12cm Diamter of ‘bulb’: 7cm SOLD George Ormerod Medium Jug Height: 18cm Diameter at top: 7.5cm SOLD George Ormerod Bowl Height: 15.5cm Diameter at top: £50 George Ormerod  16cm
