Loewe Craft Prize Finalist 2023

Prue Venables
In 2023, Prue was selected as one of only thirty finalists in the internationally esteemed Loewe Foundation Craft Prize for their exhibition at the Noguchi Museum in New York.
 
The LOEWE FOUNDATION Craft Prize seeks to acknowledge and support international artisans of any age (over 18) or gender who demonstrate an exceptional ability to create objects of superior aesthetic value. By identifying work that reinterprets existing knowledge to make it relevant today while reflecting its maker’s personal language and distinct hand, the LOEWE FOUNDATION aims to highlight the continuing contribution of craft to the culture of our time.
 
This hand thrown Limoges porcelain vessel is a beautiful study in space and movement within form. The porcelain’s yielding flexibility has been daringly manipulated with skill and precision to create a gently twisting shape with opposing triangular geometry. The finished work has a sense of harmony, elegance and surprise, and is finished with a rich satin-like black glaze.
