 The richness of the North Wales landscape never fails to inspire me and I have valued living and working here since I started my workshop with Margaret some thirty five years ago. My work explores the thrown form - searching for that essence - a quality that survives time and where the traditional and contemporary meet. I use the techniques of the past with the eyes of the present. Pieces are individual, often on a large scale, and include platters, bottles, ginger jars, store jars, pressed and extruded dishes. I like flat surfaces which enhance innovative decorative techniques. The glazes are rich and lush with wax motifs, heavy overglazes and trailed pigments. I would hope that the work shows an individuality and maturity that comes from experience, self confidence and personal conviction about the current role of a craftsman and potter. |
