Another storyteller, PAUL YOUNG draws on the idiom of C18th Staffordshire ware and their Whieldon glazes as well as European folk art to create narrative tableaux of fanciful characters and creatures. With slips added to the raw clay he then uses coloured glazes to develop layering and rich surface qualities. At the molten state these glazes begin to travel down each piece, merging colours together. Paul works in a refurbished Victorian railway station in the Midlands and also makes domestic pots much in the tradition of early English slip-trailed ware – with his own distinctive adornments.
