The Deep Water Gallery is proud to announce the

opening of "Women on Fire," a pottery show featuring ceramic pieces created by

talented female artists. This exhibition will run from June 27 to August 2, 2025,

showcasing the extraordinary craftsmanship and creativity of women in the field of

ceramics.

“Women on Fire" is a powerful exhibition that celebrates the artistry and resilience of

women makers. This show encapsulates the transformative act of making pottery, where

fire and heat stabilize the clay, turning raw earth into enduring art. Historically, women

have been intimately connected with fire and the hearth, symbolizing both creation and

sustenance. This exhibition acknowledges the rise of women artists who are masters of

their craft and pushing the traditional boundaries of functionality and meaning.

"We are thrilled to host 'Women on Fire," said Elisabeth Heathfield, curator of the

exhibition. "This exhibition not only showcases their artistic achievements but also

empowers and inspires the community through their stories and creations. In these

turbulent times, women are facing increasing challenges to their rights, with a

resurgence of sexism and anti-feminist rhetoric. "Women on Fire" is not just an artistic

statement but a call to action. It represents women who are ignited with passion and

determination, speaking out for their rights and asserting their place in the world, the

art community, and politics. This exhibition is a testament to their strength, resilience,

and unwavering commitment to equality and justice.”
