Paul Taylor

My work has largely centred on the vessel, using ultra thin slabs of textured terracotta, assembled and fired multiple times aiming to transform very simple materials into pottery that has its own distinctive characteristic. I want to create vessels with interesting configurations, surfaces and textures.
I am fascinated by the alchemy that occurs when combining clay, smoke and fire, culminating in the often magical changes that occur during the firing process.
