I'm exhibiting my work along with my partner Julie O'Sullivan (and about 150 other potters) at Celebrating Ceramics. This takes place at Waterperry Gardens, near Oxford from 11-13 July.

See below for further details and a link for booking tickets. All tickets have to be bought in advance, and if you book by 14th June and use this code EXHIB25 you will save almost enough money to buy one of my pots!
Hope you can come and visit us there. Richard Baxter and Julie O'Sullivan Ceramics

Lost coffee bar “El Capri” was in Weston Rd, Southend in the earlier 1960s. Peter Eden says he and Viv Stanshall would go down there and eat a cheese roll (very exotic). Viv would be terrified there was no escape if there was a fire, with only one staircase. Frothy coffees all round.

I’ve made a group of small buildings - sculptures/drawings for the forthcoming exhibition at Southend’s Beecroft Gallery, details below.
Celebrating its tenth anniversary, the Thames Group presents ‘The Scene By The Sea’, a multi-discipline exhibition featuring work by over 30 artists and special guests including; Billy Bragg, Phill Jupitus, Wilko Johnson, Ian Dury, Vivian Stanshall and more.

Artists such as renowned painter Simon Monk, award winning sculptor Anne Schwegmann-Fielding, portrait painter Victoria Sills, photographer Dean Chalkley and assemblage artist Catriona Faulkner have responded to locations plotted on a map created by author/musician Will Birch, artist and former ‘Clash’ right-hand man, Kosmo Vinyl together with graphic artist Jules Balme.

The map and resulting exhibition is an exploration of many of the hippest clubs, pubs, discotheques, dancehalls, coffee bars, music shops and fashion boutiques that were pivotal in helping to create Southend’s rich pop culture heritage.
