by Clive Soord

His father first introduced Clive to the ceramics process at the age of five. Clive fashioned a pot out of clay from the garden. His father put it in the bonfire, explaining to Clive how the heat changed the material. Of course this pot exploded so Clive was presented with the blackened fragments which were carefully glued together. Clive’s sculptures show his understanding of materials and observations of life. His work is always finished to a high standard and demonstrates his empathy for the materials used. Clive has always been interested in mythology and magic and these subjects are frequently the inspiration behind his work. Click on the images to view larger versions.

Functional Stoneware by Lea Phillips

“I like throwing for its rhythmic processes and immediacy, and aim for forms which are strong and definite. Colour and pattern are long standing interests, I enjoy the challenge of relating form and surface design and aim for decoration that describes and enhances the forms. I have found that oxidised stoneware best suits my expressive style, my aim being to combine the decorative freedom of low temperature ceramics with the depth and texture of stoneware glazes.” All Lea’s work is microwave and dishwasher safe.

Unique humour by Eric Marwick

Eric Marwick studied at the Duncan of Jordanstone College of Art, Dundee then the Royal College of Art in London. The art of drawing people has always been central to his work: from the life class to the street he sharpened his eye and united himself to a long story-telling tradition of figurative art stretching from Brueghel to Grosz. In his early years lithography, linocuts and pen & ink were his chosen media. In the last ten years he has focussed his drawing skills on ceramics, in particular tiles, 3D conversation pieces and pots. The latter in conjunction with David Grant at Highland Stoneware. His varied inspiration stretches from the Highlands of Scotland with its rich wildlife to the streets of London with its lowlife and also from his own family history, invariably represented with exceptional talentand unique humour.

"An Irrestable Urge to Decorate" by Sue Fields

“I have an irrepressible urge to decorate! It is this, along with a love of colour and line that informs my work. Motifs and subjects are part of a playfully patterned whole, the decoration of which extends over the surface of the piece. The end result leaves very little of the clay body visible! Recent work is influenced by the Wealden countryside (‘the garden of England’) which surrounds me, Botticelli, the Pre-Raphaelites and an admiration for the Millefleur tapestries in the Museum of Medieval Art in Paris.” Sue’s work is mainly wheel thrown and then decorated using underglaze pigments and oxides before being glazed and fired to 1100 degrees Celcius. She has an irrepressible love of colour and her riotous patterns romp playfully over her work. Her work is decorative and functional with an emphasis on line and colour.
