A professional potter since 1989 Peter's has exhibited in a number of European countries plus Japan, the UAE, the USA and of course quite widely in Britain. Commissions undertaken have included those from his local Council, The Princess of Wales Hospital, Bridgend and HM Government. The work for this last commission then given as gifts representing the UK to the nineteen visiting Heads of State attending a European Summit.
His work has featured in many national publications including: World of Interiors; Homes & Antiques; The Daily Mail “Weekend” magazine; and The Times. His pots have travelled far and wide and can be found in public and private collections in Britain and around the world.
Currently his pottery production is low as a major project is underway building a new home and studio.
“Inspiration for me comes from simple things; pots from ancient China to modern Europe; the looseness, freedom and life of Bizen wares, the wonderful colours, textures and forms of Lucie Rie’s work; the inverted profile of a hat, a blackbird singing outside my bedroom window.”
“I aim for balanced form, attention to detail and life; I would love the ability to produce pots of a calibre that would make people catch their breath – however, for now, if I can occasionally stir the heart, I’ll be content.”
