Bernard Leach was the catalyst for his move towards ceramics:\u00a0 <\/span>a discussion with him at his St Ives Pottery led to John\u2019s apprenticeship with David Leach where he quickly learnt to throw domestic ware in the Leach tradition.\u00a0 <\/span>In 1964 he and Heather set up Stoneshill Pottery in Devon where he soon became more adventurous and imaginative in his designs, veering away from the practical.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>

The late \u201870s, \u201880s and early \u201890s were fruitful times when John\u2019s work was in constant demand by galleries in this country and abroad ~ notably Japan, Belgium, Germany and in Firenza Italy where he won the Gold Award at the International Exhibition of Ceramics in 1975.\u00a0 <\/span>In this period too he became fascinated by the use of enamels in his stoneware.\u00a0 <\/span>He studied the techniques of the C17th\/18th<\/sup> Japanese potter Ogata Kenzan who developed \u201cthe brightest reds and golds in ceramic history\u201d and used this knowledge to great effect in his own work.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>

All the while he was working with clay, John continued to make playful automata and swinging-boats. His love of the sea and boats dominates his painted wood work. An enthusiastic sailor himself, he enjoyed the challenge of the elements and sailed out from the Devon coast whenever he had the opportunity. In his divas and suitors, grinning cats and fantastical birds, he loved to express the quirks of humanity that make us smile.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>

In 1996 John underwent major heart surgery which left him too weak to handle the large slabs of clay required to make the sculptural vessels.\u00a0 <\/span>Instead he started \u201cplaying about\u201d as he said, sitting at the kitchen table with small lumps of clay. Under his responsive fingers these became angels, tigers, kings queens, birds and fish.\u00a0 <\/span>As he grew stronger, so did the scale of his sculptures which also became more diverse in imagery.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>
