(Dip. Ceramics [Dist.]; Dip M. Society of Industrial Artists and Designers; Crafts Council Award 1976) The work produced in Lincolnshire since 1976 has continually changed; exploring stoneware and raku techniques. A range of practical domestic stoneware has been the mainstay of the business, supplied to customers throughout Britain. A constant interest and source of inspiration is the diversity of ceramic materials and processes. Locally found minerals are collected and mixed with clay and glazes to develop original colours and surface textures. |
