Andrew has had an affinity with clay from the moment his parents bought him his first potter’s wheel at the age of five......
The inspiration for Andrew's sculptures come from a variety of influences ranging from the standing stones of the Outer Hebrides to the wartime coastal defences on the Normandy beaches and the munitions of war. All his pieces are thrown in one piece and then turned to refine the form. Pieces are biscuit fired in an electric kiln and selected areas are masked off before being coated with a copper malt glaze. These are then put through their final and most exciting stage, which is Raku. This involves the pieces being heated to 1000’c at which point they are removed from the kiln glowing orange. These are placed immediately onto bed of sawdust, which bursts into flames on contact giving unpredictable and amazing results.
Andrew completed a Btec National Diploma in 3D Design Ceramics, after which he went on to graduate from Bath College of Higher Education with a Degree in Ceramics in 1991. he exhibits Nationally - 2009 April- British Craft Trade Fair Harrowgate , Art in Clay, Hatfield August 7/8/9th.
