Tom is a relative newcomer to pottery, having been bitten by the bug in 2016, but his work shows a flair for design and a proficiency that transforms into vibrant eye-catching pieces. Tom says when he discovered the joys of working with clay he "was taken with the idea that anyone could take a bit of mud, fashion it into something, cook it, and hey presto! there you have it. The fun thing is what to do with that mud! I realised I wanted to make stuff that people would cherish and would add a bit of art into their lives". As indeed he does. It's SO hard when he brings in new work not to add another one to the collection at home!
