I have enjoyed being a member of the eARTh
group of potters for a few years .
Having been a Dentist in the past I like creating objects out of clay using my hands which I feel are used to doing things. I particularly love anything with a Japanese style ! I am lucky to have visited Japan several times !

I love textured pots so make my own plaster moulds for slip‑casting and hand‑building and layering glazes lets me explore a myriad of colours. I’ve called my studio Pumphouse Pottery as I work in a disused sewage pumping station . Being part of eARTh potters is a joy — their talent and diverse techniques inspire me.
Martin Andrews
I enjoy making functional and decorative ceramics exploring texture, surface pattern and form. I particularly enjoy decorating pieces using a sgraffito technique. More recently I have been making sculptural pieces on a small domestic scale based on pure abstract ideas echoing shapes and motifs that I also use in my printmaking.
Kim Marshall
Ceramics is a relatively new venture, which I am thoroughly enjoying exploring. I am inspired by nature’s texture, colour & shape and the work of many ceramic artists.
I originally trained as a Graphic Designer working in London for design studios and in children’s publishing. For the last 16yrs I have been teaching at the UoR in the Department of Typography & Graphic Communication.

I normally make small to medium sized ceramic pieces to enhance your garden. It is all fired to stoneware and is frost-proof. Many of my pieces are free-standing whilst others can be hung on fences or trellises.
Duncan Cooper
Pottery provides me with a unique, ever evolving creative outlet. Recently I have been working on a series of minimalist thrown jugs, glazed with vivid, quickly applied, primary colours.
In contrast I have been hand-building pots with scratched & textured surfaces: applying oxides to give each piece a more earthy look and feel.
Please do come down to visit eARTh.

When making my ceramic pieces I think about creating beautiful shapes and profiles and I work primarily on the potter’s wheel to achieve this. I experiment with colour, by staining clay and layering glazes, and texture, by manipulating and carving the clay. My work is varied and I produce both functional and decorative pieces.
