Part of the Nunnery Gallery Made in Bow exhibition series

An artist profile for painter Mathew Weir, one of three artists who exhibited as part of the Bow Porcelain series for Made In Bow.

Made in Bow is an exhibition and events programme which took place May- August 2013 at the Nunnery Gallery in Bow, East London. The exhibition includes works of Bow Porcelain from the Newham archive, shown alongside contemporary art works produced by three Bow Artists - Mathew Weir, Felicity Hammond and Lizzie Canon responding to the 18th Century Bow porcelain collection. The factory was just fifteen hundred metres from the Nunnery Gallery and was of world-wide significance to the development of ceramic art history. Alongside the exhibition was a series of workshops, talks and walks devised by each of the Bow Porcelain artists, and workshops with pupils at Park Primary School.

The project was conceived by Nunnery Gallery Director Rosie Murdoch, and funded by the Heritage Lottery Fund and London Borough of Newham. The Nunnery Gallery is the not-for-profit arts space from charity Bow Arts.
