Bill Rolls and his ceramic dogs!

Celebrity Bill Rolls and his ceramic dogs in the 25th Designer Crafts at the Mall 2015 exhibition and on Crafts Magazine Facebook page

When Bill Rolls showcased his ceramic dogs on the HCA graduate stand at New Designers, London last Summer, he was awarded (along with three other Hereford graduates) licentiate membership to the Society of Designer Craftsmen.

Bill and his prized dogs received the top of the class ‘distinction award’ for new licentiate. All new licentiates, including Bill, were invited to exhibit their work alongside established members and designer-makers in the ’25th Designer Crafts at the Mall 2015′ Exhibition at the Mall Galleries, London.

Bill attended the Corporate Private View on Thursday 8th January and the Private View on Friday 9th January when he sold one of his ceramic dogs to Dawn Thorne, the Exhibition curator. Bill and one of his ceramic pooches also made a cheeky appearance on the Crafts Magazine Facebook page when the editor popped in to see the show.

“Our ed popped into the Mall Galleries to visit the 25th edition of the Society of Designer Craftsmen’s ‘Designer Crafts at the Mall’ and spotted this guy – he’s made by ceramist William Rolls.
Tomorrow is the show’s last day so you’ll have to be quick!”
