Elspeth Owen’s ceramics are found in museum collections all over the world and are all made in her studio in a former cricket pavilion in Grantchester. Elspeth will talk about the centrality of touch in the making and enjoying of pots and there will be an opportunity to handle some of her works. She will seek to place her work politically within the ‘gift economy’, an idea as important for museums as for artists.
Art Talks with Art Fund is a national programme of artist talks around contemporary art in museums across the UK.
