MAKERS - ARTISTS - DESIGNERS - ENTERPRISE
Curating the latest in Welsh creative talent.
Open Weekends throughout January from 11th
'I started making ceramics while at Hereford College of Art and design. I got very interested in painting on a 3D surface. It was a revolutionary idea to me that I could use glazes in the way I used paints.The course was very design heavy and so these preparation collages became part of my process and were shown alongside the ceramics.
I draw inspiration from painters rather than potters and love American Realism and the figures in an Edward Hopper painting.I am interested in the extraordinary of the everyday.In terms of ceramics I am inspired by Picassos pigeons and plates,they are so immediate and vital.
My making process is slab building and modelling in mainly white earthenware clay.The pieces are then fired three times ,the last and lowest temp firing being the lustre.The colours are everything to me and I use underplayed pots ,felt pens and crayons to get that drawn feeling. The final stage of metallic lustre gives a gleam of opulence.'
'I enjoy the sculpting of small figures, trying to make the inanimate clay look like it's come to life. My biggest challenge is deciding on a scale and which side of naivety to fall. My favourite subject matters are popular culture motifs, the fairground, the everyday, description of place , my travels and ideas from my song writing where there is a crossover of poetry.
In terms of Made I would like to make some pieces around the theme of Roath...the Streets parks and gardens. I have some ideas about using more text on pieces. My ambitions for this year include to hopefully show at MADE and make smaller pieces for ceramics market in Peckham. I am also having pieces in Summer show at The Art shop Abergavenny and have ideas to look at the boats around me and the reflections and continue with my many narratives.'
