Introduction	Hi I’m Chris, I live in Somerset, UK. I come from fine art background and have just started ceramics! I’m interested in throwing utility ware and hand building sculptures. I would love to do pit firing.
What I Love about Ceramics	I can recycle my less successful pieces! I get lost in clay and lose all sense of time!
How I started with ceramics	I did a couple of experience days an 2 terms at night school ceramics for beginers.
What inspires me	Naturre, other artists, the weather, poetry, music, film, literature…. life!
What I'm working on at the moment	I’m currently doing a lot of hand building, and developing my style. Im experimenting with combining raw oxides to see how they react, and looking at using mica powders… One of my more recent discoveries is using icing bottles with fine line needle tips with glaze – total game changer! I’m developing some tapas tableware, and dipping bowls.
My Artist Statement	I draw my inspiration from the Exmoor countryside. I live by a river and this creeps into my psyche!
