A voice leaked out through a crack in my throat, 2025 by Carla Wright

Collaborative at County Hall Pottery

County Hall Pottery is pleased to present Collaborative, a cross-disciplinary exhibition for London Design Festival 2025 that explores the creative potential of connection through clay.
Rooted in the tactile and transformative nature of ceramics, Collaborative brings together five leading ceramic artists, each paired with a creative practitioner from a different discipline. Spanning music, woodworking, architecture, and culinary arts, these partnerships reimagine ceramics as a shared language of innovation, functionality, and artistic dialogue.

For this exhibition, Carla Wright and Isobel Anderson present a new collaborative work that brings together ceramics and sound. The piece extends Carla’s exploration of how women connect through language—particularly gossip as a form of knowledge, care, and solidarity—alongside Isobel’s experience as a vocalist and her practice of using sound as an aesthetic and sculptural medium. Their collaboration highlights how informal exchanges carry a depth of communication that is layered, complex, and profoundly relational.

At the centre of the work is a new sound installation built into a series of “singing pots.” Each ceramic vessel holds its own melodic rendering of the same voice, diffused through multi-channel sound. Together, they create an interlocking composition that shifts as listeners encounter variations in tone, phrasing, and timbre in real time. The result plays with the intimacy and volatility of the female voice—its ideals, fetishisation, mistrust—and resonates with Isobel’s own return to vocal performance after over a decade living with chronic pain.

Carla’s ceramics offer three large, tactile, imperfect pots with wide openings through which Isobel’s voice reverberates. When the voice emerges, it can be soothing, liberating, and sustaining, yet to some ears it may also seem unruly, unrestrained, or “too much”.

Carla and Isobel were drawn to collaborate not only through their practices, but through their shared commitment to community. Carla founded Common Clay, a space for collective making in ceramics, while Isobel founded Girls Twiddling Knobs, an online platform for women in music production. Both artists create spaces of connection and care, mirrored here in a work where ceramics and sound become vessels for conversation, solidarity, and creative exchange

COLOR PATH, 2025 by Adam Kalinowski

„COLOR PATH” refers to a specific public art installation in Poznań, Poland, known locally as „ŚCIEŻKA KOLORU.”
Dimensions: 2700x480x20 cm, materials: 17 tons of coloured aggregates (0.5-5 mm grades) and plywood.

The work is a temporary, interactive piece created by artist Adam Kalinowski. https://arsenal.art.pl/exhibition/sciezka-koloru/  Location: Pasaż Quadro, Poznań, Poland. Exhibition Dates: September 12 – October 26, 2025. Organizer: Galeria Miejska Arsenał w Poznaniu. Produced by The Tadeusz Kalinowski Art Foundation.
The installation is a unique sensory experience, composed of tons of finely colored aggregate. „COLOR PATH” is designed to be fully interactive, inviting the public to walk through it, preferably barefoot. This direct engagement allows visitors to become active participants and co-creators of the artwork. The movement of people through the vibrant, granular material continually alters the installation’s form, creating an ever-changing landscape of color and texture. The core concept of the piece is to explore sensory perception, social interaction, and the disruption of daily routine in a public space. By encouraging play and shared experience, the artwork aims to foster a temporary sense of community among its participants.
