It’s always exciting to wander through the three floors of Primavera Gallery. There are prints, fine weavings, lots of contemporary jewellery, handmade furniture, sculptures, glass art and of course a huge selection of the best British pottery.

Downstairs one finds shelves of functional ware alongside a display case of the very valuable historic pieces by Lucie Rie, Hans Coper and others. I always spot a good selection of Richard Batterham and Philip Wood pots.

Outside Jeremy’s office there’s a huge group of colourful Tony Laverick vessels.

I covet the John Maltby sculpture shown here and drool over the Steve Harrison salt-glazed collection.

Most of my pieces are upstairs, on the main floor – on corner shelves and in the front window. At the back of this level there is a little outside area showing garden sculpture.

A little walk in a corridor takes you to another flight of stairs up to three more rooms, one filled with animals made from clay, wood and metal, one featuring the work Primavera had taken to Innovations in Ceramic Art in Cambridge’s Guildhall in October and the third contains more, larger ceramic pieces.

I photographed a large Batterham jar and these fanciful jugs there.
