SELECTED MAKER
Chris Hawkins
Ceramics
I qualified in Studio Ceramics in 1976 at Plymouth College of Art & Design
I then undertook an apprenticeship at West Pottery in Devon and was trained by Hugh West as a production thrower.
I spent a number of years producing tableware under the West pottery mark and that discipline and attention to detail shows in my work today.
Alongside producing my own work I spent many years working as a ceramics & glass technician and part time lecturer in ceramics at Plymouth College of Art & Design & The College of St. Mark & St. John
In 1996 I set up my present workshop which is set in 6 acres of woodland along the banks of the Tamar in the Tamar Valley, officially an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty
My present work involves the raku process and I am producing a range of Copper Matt, Slip Resist and Glazed ceramics.
My work is sold throughout the UK and abroad.
