About Rob
My first taste of the ceramics world was when I attended a one off taster session at the Bermondsey biscuit factory in South London, wanting to find a hobby away from working in the hospitality industry. This one lesson sparked an interest in ceramics that I pursued all the way to the doors of Central Saint Martins, where I achieved a first class honours degree in Ceramic Design.
During my time at university I began working at The Kiln Rooms in Peckham, firstly on their Work Exchange Programme where I was given a studio space in exchange for weekly shifts. Later progressing into teaching.
In 2023 I made the move to Worcester, a city with a rich ceramic history as the home of Royal Worcester to work as the studio manager of a shared ceramic makers space, where I also continue to teach.
I have created my own range of functional slipware which I continue to develop with new designs and techniques. My work seeks to explore and innovate established making techniques in the British slipware tradition, through the capturing of a variety of patterns drawn in liquid clay.
I exhibit my work at Potfest and other national standard shows around the country. To find out where i’ll be for the coming years shows join the mailing list to be kept in the loop.,
