Maud and Mabel

Contemporary art gallery in Hampstead Village, London.

Founded in 2012 by Karen Whiteley in Hampstead Village, London, Maud and Mabel is a carefully curated space. It unites contemporary aesthetic with ancient craft in every guise from ceramics and wood to glass, textiles and precious metals and stones. These pieces are rooted in shibumi, an aspect of Japanese aesthetics that balances simplicity and complexity with perfection and imperfection. Where e

legant forms boast rough tactile qualities and intricately engineered artistry is performed with refined subtlety. Alongside showcasing a wide selection of works, Maud & Mabel works closely with pioneering artists from around the globe to create special collections, exhibitions and collaborations that honour both the artist and spectator in the gallery and online, as well as supplying and working with designers on major projects.

JAEJUN LEE | MATERIAL & METHOD | 13 - 24 May

Known for his refined wheel-thrown porcelain practice, Jaejun Lee presents a new collection of sculptural ceramic works that explore the balance between precision and material movement. Working with carefully controlled forms and high-gloss glazes, Lee creates vessels that emphasise the dialogue between structure, surface, and gravity.
The collection includes sculptural vessels, moons, and a lidded container, each defined by precise, resolved forms that are disrupted by flowing glaze. As the glaze travels across the surface, it thins at the upper edges and gathers into soft, pooled drips below, revealing a quiet tension between control and fluidity. Through this process-led approach, Lee highlights the interaction between making and material behaviour, where intention and chance are held in delicate balance.

KEIICHIRO HAYAMIZU | MATERIAL & METHOD | 13 - 24 May

Working at the intersection of traditional craftsmanship and sculptural form, Keiichiro Hayamizu creates quietly tactile works that explore the material possibilities of handmade washi paper. Based in Kagoshima, Japan, Hayamizu handcrafts paper from kōzo and mitsumata fibres, building on techniques studied in Mino, Gifu, one of Japan’s historic centres of papermaking.

His collection includes sculptural vases, trays, boxes and wall pieces, where layered surfaces and subtle shifts in texture become central to the work. Combining washi with wood, bamboo, clay and lacquer, Hayamizu creates finishes that range from softly fibrous and lightly textured to smooth, pebbled surfaces, in tones of natural cream, earthy black and brown, alongside copper and silver-like hues. Through processes of layering, immersion and repeated handling, the works reveal a quiet sense of depth, temporality and material presence.

We are so pleased to introduce Hayamizu’s work to Maud & Mabel as part of our current exhibition, Material & Method, alongside the work of six other artists, celebrating and exploring the diversity, richness and innovation of contemporary craft.

Showing the in the gallery and online, the exhibition continues until 5.30pm Sunday 24th May.

NANCY FULLER | MATERIAL & METHOD | 13 - 24 May

Nancy Fuller creates wood-fired ceramic vessels shaped by time, flame, and material transformation, where each piece emerges through the unpredictability of the anagama kiln. Working with stoneware, china clay, and wild clay slips, her forms are built by hand and slowly developed through repeated firings that build depth and subtle variation across the surface.
Over days of firing, ash, flame, and atmosphere leave their marks, producing soft tonal shifts in earthy greys, ochres, and mineral browns. No two pieces are ever the same, each carrying its own quiet evidence of the kiln’s movement and intensity. Her vessels take inspiration from ancient forms, with softly evolving silhouettes that feel grounded, organic, and contemplative. Both sculptural and functional, they hold a restrained presence shaped by elemental process and time.

ANNETTE LINDENBERG | MATERIAL & METHOD | 13 - 24 May

Known for her distinctive kurinuki technique, carving vessels from a single block of clay, Annette Lindenberg presents a new collection of sculptural ceramics that balance delicacy with raw material presence. Working with hand-mixed clays and experimental glazes, Lindenberg creates softly tactile surfaces inspired by the Japanese philosophy of wabi-sabi and the beauty of imperfection.

The collection introduces a new Cast Iron Series, where textured matt black glazes evoke the appearance of aged cast iron, alongside pale cream works with bamboo-like illustrations and new pieces from her Dew Series, where glass-like droplets are scattered across soft opaque surfaces. The collection includes moon jars, sake bottles, trays, lidded containers and tea bowls, each revealing Lindenberg’s sensitive approach to texture, form and atmospheric finish.

KATE SCHURICHT | MATERIAL & METHOD | 13 - 24 May

Schuricht presents a new collection of lidded pots, tall cylinder vessels, hanging wall vases, and playful pourer forms that continue her exploration of time, surface, and sculptural function. Designed to sit between utility and installation, each piece carries a strong sense of presence while remaining rooted in everyday materiality.

Across the collection, delicate, intricate surfaces are set against areas of calm, smooth matte finish. Layered glazes build tonal shifts where light and dark meet, sometimes in bold contrast, other times in subtle, atmospheric gradients that move gently across the form. Interior and exterior surfaces are equally considered, adding depth and a sense of quiet discovery as each piece is viewed from different angles.

The silhouettes balance playfulness and precision, where straight, angular lines intersect with soft, flowing curves. The result is a body of work that feels dynamic yet restrained, carefully composed objects that hold both tension and ease within their forms.

JACK DOHERTY | MATERIAL & METHOD | 13 - 24 May

Jack Doherty presents a new collection of hand-thrown soda-fired stoneware that moves between the monumental and the intimate, between sculptural presence and everyday comfort. Shaped from locally sourced clay and formed into cups, mugs, teacups, bowls, and pourers, each piece carries a quiet weight, objects designed not only to be used, but to be held, noticed, and lived with.

Rooted in archetypal vessel forms that echo a deep, shared history of making, the collection reflects Doherty’s enduring fascination with prehistoric ceramics and elemental processes. His signature soda-firing technique introduces flame, atmosphere, and chance into every surface, leaving behind richly varied markings, deep blacks, softened blues, greens, and ochres that feel both weathered and alive.

These are works that embody contradiction in harmony, robust yet gentle, grounded yet expressive. Each vessel stands as a “survivor,” shaped by fire and unpredictability, carrying within it a sense of endurance.

MATERIAL & METHOD

13th - 24th May

Featuring works by Jack Doherty, Nancy Fuller, Keiichiro Hayamizu, Jaejun Lee,
Annette Lindenberg, Marco Minetti, and Kate Schuricht

Material & Method brings together a group of international artists whose practices are grounded in an ongoing commitment to process. Across ceramics and paper, the exhibition considers how technique functions not simply as a means of production, but as a way of thinking, testing, and understanding material over time.

The exhibition spans a broad range of approaches: the carved silhouettes of kurinuki, the spontaneity of soda firing, the monumental construction methods of onggi, and the quiet accumulation of layered washi paper. Some techniques are inherited through longstanding traditions, while others emerge through experimentation and sustained repetition. In each case, process remains central to the work’s meaning and presence.

The works included move between sculptural and functional forms, from moon jars and large-scale vessels to intimate lidded pots and finely resolved domestic objects. Surface, texture, weight, and gesture reveal the trace of making, allowing each piece to carry the history of its construction.

Rather than seeking uniformity, Material & Method embraces contrast. Differences in scale, firing, material, and form create a dialogue between works, where distinct cultural lineages and individual sensibilities coexist. What unites the artists is a shared attentiveness to craft and a deep engagement with the possibilities of material transformation.

‘盃 Hai Tall Bowl’ by Yoko Ozawa

______________

Melbourne-based artist Yoko Ozawa began practising ceramics in 2003, whilst working as a graphic designer in Tokyo. Born in Japan, Ozawa formally trained in both Fine Art, with a focus on Japanese painting, at Musashino University, Tokyo and Graphic Design at The Japan Design College. Upon relocation to Australia in 2012, Ozawa established her own studio. She has since exhibited around the world, with solo exhibitions and numerous group shows throughout Australia, Japan and England. In 2019, she was a finalist of both the Manningham Victorian Ceramic Art Award and The Victorian Craft Awards, alongside reception of the biannual Clunes Ceramic Award.

Ozawa’s work displays a pervading exploration of the Japanese notion of yohaku, meaning blank space. Ozawa was introduced to this concept while studying Japanese painting. Translated into her ceramic works, yohaku defines the space and stillness surrounding objects. For Ozawa, the notion of the space inside her works holds possibility and meaning, not simply ‘nothingness’. In this way, they engage in a dialogue with the concept of yohaku, resulting in an enhanced apprehension of the world and our own mind. Conversely, the surfaces of her work are not blank at all. Yoko Ozawa’s work is heavily informed by a sustained interest in the natural world; seasonal transitions, temperature, light, shadow, fog, rain and snow. Texture is created through sporadic application of slip and ash glazes, rejecting outright uniformity and perfection. The resulting works are unique and unrepeatable, sharing overt similarities with arid mysterious landscapes, resonating with the notion of wabi-sabi - that the beauty of the natural world cannot be replicated.

We are so pleased to introduce Chloe Charrington to Maud & Mabel, marking her first presentation with us.
Charrington’s sculptural forms begin on the wheel before being cut and reassembled, creating a tension between soft curves and sharper, angular lines. The shapes are subtly compressed, appearing almost flat from certain angles while retaining a rounded presence that invites viewing from multiple perspectives. Carefully carved surfaces and earthy tones, ranging from deep browns to warm creams with occasional soft accents, give each piece a distinct character, whether shown individually or in quiet dialogue with others.

_________________

Chloe Charrington is a ceramic artist specialising in hand-thrown work, with a focus on the vessel form, texture, and surface decoration. She came to ceramics after an earlier career in arts marketing, discovering clay in her thirties and establishing a practice rooted in wheel-thrown pottery. For over a decade, she produced functional work, including bespoke tableware for private clients and Michelin-starred restaurants such as Askham Hall. In recent years, her focus has shifted toward more sculptural and expressive forms.
In 2024, Chloe graduated from the MA Ceramics programme at Cardiff School of Art and Design, where she studied under Claire Curneen. This period marked a significant development in her practice, deepening her exploration of form, process, and materiality.
Chloe’s work centres on the quiet dialogue between making and material.
By stripping away domestic function and focusing on surface and texture, Chloe’s pieces invite a contemplative stillness, akin to that found in still life painting. Many works are left unglazed to preserve the integrity and tactility of the material, while others are burnished and polished to achieve a soft sheen. Across her practice, there is a consistent attention to the quiet labour of making and the unique character of clay, resulting in objects that are both grounded and atmospheric.

Martin and Dowling share a new series of sculptures formed from English hardwood, celebrating the material’s natural character. Soft, rounded silhouettes appear flattened in profile, creating a subtle interplay between volume and plane, while hand-worked surfaces, marked by facets and fine lines, give each piece a distinct presence. Individually strong yet harmonious in groups, the works form quiet, balanced arrangements of shape, tone and texture.

____________

Malcolm Martin and Gaynor Dowling are collaborative wood artists, who have lived and worked together in Stroud, Gloucestershire, since 1997. Their different artistic backgrounds inform their uniquely fluid approach to wood, which is simultaneously sculpture and craft. Martin studied Fine Art before concentrating on sculpture and Dowling trained as a textile artist.

Martin and Dowling’s sculptures are made with traditional hand-tool techniques. Meticulous and repeated carving, in a manner similar to drawing, results in the textured and patterned surfaces which celebrate their making-process. They explore dimensionality in their three-dimensional designs which often appear two-dimensional at first due to strong frontal images. They vary significantly in size, from the monumental to the miniature. Both artists are involved in every stage of the making and they work on different bodies of work concurrently.
