Mainly one-off stoneware work in traditional shino, celadon and ash glazes.
Training and Experience:
Trained at Cheltenham College of Art and Design, after previous career as a marine engineering officer.
Worked for Russell Collins for six months then set up pottery in 1973.
I feel I am mainly self taught. \r\n
Artists Statement:
The Cotswold Pottery is situated in a busy tourist area. It is a challenge therefore to present visitors with top quality ceramics. I am most interested in simply glazed strongly formed work. My inspiration is the work of the east and I owe a lot to Leach, Hamada and the peasant pottery of Korea.
