Simon Shaw

 

I studied at Wirral College of Art and Design and Braintree College, Essex, after which I was employed in various UK workshops. Having worked abroad for several years I returned to Merseyside in 1997 and establisher my own workshop.

The work is mainly thrown using a stoneware clay with porcelain, raku clay and glass additions. Barium based glazes give a textured, matt finish using a colour palette of blues, greens and lilacs.
