CeramicsDrawingMixed Media+1“For me, periods of creativity come in phases, finding an avenue of ideas to explore and play with without preconceptions or a destination point. It’s somewhat like mining; finding a vein or seam to excavate, then digging away to see what you find until the lode runs out. It’s a good analogy; it’s hard but absorbing work in a little space all of its own and you never quite know what you are going to discover. Starting points can come from anywhere; a process, a technique, a colour, a song lyric, a conversation, a concept, a contradiction, music, a feeling. Anything that suggests an unresolved question or prompts curiosity about how we live and interpret the world. Humans are the most consequential, contradictory and contrary species; the most brilliant and the most imbecilic, the most rational and irrational, both creative and the most destructive. Consequently, I find the richest themes come from people and the work that results is usually figurative.”

Craig Wilson
Ceramics“My secondary school in the 80s had a few things going for it, one was the husband and wife partnership leading the art department. Robin and Julie Lewis took it upon themselves to establish a pottery for the students. They provided an oasis, a space to let us develop our creativity without boundaries. It was here that I discovered a passion for clay and making.”
