Ardmore Summerhill Horse Collection to be exhibited at Summerhill Stallion Day - 5 July 2009

For immediate release - This Sunday, Summerhill Stud and Ardmore Ceramics join forces to celebrate and show off their excellence and dedication.  The Ardmore artists, inspired by the care givers at Summerhill, have created, a new collection of ceramics to be unveiled at the Summerhill Stallion Day.

The Collection includes Staffordshire like, everyday farm scenes of stallions being bandaged, foals being born and horse and hound cavorting together. Familiar Ardmore urn and tureen forms are adorned with horses leaping from within and Ready to Run yearlings galloping to victory.  Bowls and plates are illustrated with intricate detailed painting by up and coming artist Siyabonga Mabaso and Alex Shabalala.

A most spectacular Dog / Leopard Urn sculpted by Bernard Zondo and exquisitely painted by Virginia Xaba in exotic colours, is a more typically Ardmore piece.  A pack of African hunting hounds are out for a leopard kill. 

You can view this exciting new departure, where the ceramicists have traded in their racing zebra stripes for the thoroughbred by visiting the online gallery.
