Born in
1950, Peter began working in potteries from 1967 in
between travelling to various parts of the world and
absorbing different cultures.
In 1974 Peter moved to St. Ives, Cornwall
helping his family establisha pottery on the Penbeagle
Estate.
Self taught, he established his own
pottery in 1976 working in earthenware. Over the years
his method of working has evolved, he now works in reduction
fired stoneware and porcelain, specialising in specific
varieties of individual Ash Glazes.
Peter uses a self built gas fired reduction
kiln of some 36 cu.ft. for both domestic and individual
pieces.
He built an Anagama kiln in 2004 which
has enabled him to explore surface decoration that is
not possible in the gas kiln.
From 2013 to 2014, Peter was on the
board of the Leach Pottery in St. Ives.
His work is sold at his studio, galleries
and exhibitions. |
