Artist's Statement

I have worked as a professional slipware potter since 1989; initially making hundreds of functional pots, since 1998 I have produced just decorative slipware. I embrace the humble form of pot making and produce pots that cross the boundaries of craft into art.

My craft is the dexterous skill, while my art is the creative. I recognise my own pleasure and visual satisfaction at seeing beauty in life and art. Beauty is an important element of my work aside from any attached meaning. Furthermore I am aware that beauty is in the eye of the beholder and that the beholder is influenced by who they are and what has happened to them in their life.

In 2005 I built a studio in Granada, Southern Spain, I work part of the year in Spain and part of it in England. I welcome visitors to both studios when I am there and can be contacted on the telephone numbers above or by e-mail

Current Work

Exhibition slipware with some domestic slipware.

Work generally available from:
Zimmer Stewart Gallery
My studios and selling exhibitions internationally. See my web site for details

Technical Information

All my work is made out of red earthenware; larger pieces have 20% addition of grog. All the pots are thrown or hand made with coils. My slip is hyplas 71 with additions of oxide or stains. After biscuit firing pieces are glazed in transparent or iron rich glaze and fired in an electric kiln to 1107C
