​Chris began working with clay in his mid-thirties when he began a two year apprenticeship with Edmund de Waal. His collection includes beakers, bowls, cups, teapots, jugs and pots for flowers. Mirror black tenmokus breaking to rust, and luminous celadons, are used independently or in the seductive combination he has long made his own.His technique gets ever more refined. He likes rows, exulting in the rhythm of repeated but subtly different shapes, which emphasize the organic nature of the handmade. Chris' work has been exhibited in the UK & internationally since 1998.
