Craig Underhill
Craig Underhill was born in Glasgow, Scotland 1968. In 1989 he graduated from Portsmouth Polytechnic with a degree in Fine Art, specialising in Ceramics. Together with partner Emma Spence, he then set up Bartonfields Pottery and began teaching at Burton College. In 2020 he relocated his home and studio to Cornwall.
Craig prefers the softer surface that is achieved by using his hands to make a slab, as opposed to the harder and flatter finish achieved with a slab roller. He then uses wooden tools to draw lines into the leatherhard surface. Coloured engobe is then used like paint to create the surface imagery.
Craig has exhibited his ceramics all over the UK, as well as in France, Germany and Hungary.
