Mon 6 August 10am to 8pm
Only open to the general public once a year, this is an opportunity for visitors to view the workshop and work-in-progress and to see finished pieces.
Andrew was inspired to take up ceramics during research of the Isle of Wight pottery book, 'A Century of Ceramics' - watching a bowl being thrown on the wheel.
Each piece is individually-designed with hand-carving and form being Andrew's primary interest. A limited palette of glazes and slips are used, with the clay body becoming an integral part of the surface design.
Influences are all around, tracks made by man and nature leaving their imprint on the earth. Engineering, machinery, architecture and archaeology add further interest to designs.
Free entry. All welcome.
