Welcome to my small site on contemporary ceramics. I've collected contemporary ceramics for several years and love learning about this wonderful art form. To me ceramics is more than just craft work. To fully appreciate the time, thought and effort that goes into the more complex ceramics only the word "art" applies. Although I prefer non functional ceramics one of the most intriguing things about this art form is its one of the only ones where the line between functionality and artistic beauty is often very blurred. While you can perfectly use a Lucie Rie pourer should you? How about a Grayson Perry as a simple flower vase? There is no right and wrong of course!

This site is very new in this form and will be expanded over time to include more images of my pots as well as general information on ceramics - where they can be seen, what to look for in a good pot and reviews of craft exhibitions in the UK. I hope you enjoy browsing around and if you have any suggestions please drop me a line.

Appraisals, Valuations and Purchases

I have collected ceramics for several years. I am happy to offer my opinion on any modern ceramics object as to who made it or to its value. In the first instance please contact me via email. I am always on the look out for good peices as well and guarantee to offer fair prices for the right pots. If you have something you'd like me to consider drop me a line with some pictures.

Photography

I am also aware just how difficult taking good photos of pots can be. I now have the camera, lights and software to take very high quality pictures of items and this is something I can also help with if necessary. Please contact me as before.
