Born and raised in Cornwall, John has always had a close affinity to the sea and rugged coastline of West Penwith.
‘The forms I make are a direct response to my environment; I aim to make work which intimately communicates the elemental processes that they have been through’
John has continued with his passion for wood-fired ceramics and explores the extreme firing process by developing his own clays, glazes and slips which respond to the flame, ember and ash. He has become particularly interested in ancient Chinese glazes and how these interact with the ‘fly ash’ and embers which are so prominent when firing an Anagama kiln.
