Peter Black
I am drawn to making techniques that celebrate a pot’s journey, revealing the maker’s hands and the wheel, the essence of a hand-made vessel. My work focuses on the familiar, taking it forward with a dash of humour and an oblique nod to its source. At its best I feel this approach produces freshness and vibrancy, and the everyday can become something unique and individual, with its own character. I am most happy with a finished piece that makes me smile, that might be an old friend and that I find myself seeking out.
I make salt glazed porcelain and stoneware, thrown and finished on the wheel, sometimes altered and assembled, including functional as well as one-off decorative or sculptural pieces. I strive to make each piece an individual, including when part of a series, such as mugs, bowls or cups.
