POTTERY IN THE FOYER

Tim Blanc

Tim has been making pottery for 10 years. He uses 'crank clay' because it is very forgiving and allows him to make anything he can imagine and wish to design without collapsing or falling apart. Tims work is handbuilt and he uses techniques such as slab work, coiling and his own made moulds. The shapes and patterns of the earth and nature inspire the designs. Tims work is more sculptural than functional. Tim can be contacted by email on: timblanc@orange.net

Dan Hides

Dan completed a two year apprenticeship at Dartington Pottery (1989-1991) followed by a two year HND course in ceramic design at Falmouth School of Art (1991-1993).He has subsequently had several years experience as a production thrower at Willow Pottery, Bath, before opening his own workshop in Bristol. Dan is Folk House pottery manager and tutor.

'The majority of my work comprises wheel-thrown domestic ware, decorated with various coloured slips and glazes. The decoration is created with a simple dot or plain slip design, allowing the richness of the terracotta clay to show through. After bisque firing, I use a combination of clear and coloured glazes to produce a wide range of intense colours.'
