His work is influenced by traditional East Asian ceramics and their legacy in British studio pottery. Drawing on forms and glazes that have existed for over a thousand years, he explores how these ceramics can be made today, whilst respecting modern concerns over environmental sustainability and material accessibility.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan class=\"EOP Selected SCXW249703460 BCX0\" data-ccp-props='{\"134233117\":false,\"134233118\":false,\"335559738\":240,\"335559739\":0}'\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"Paragraph SCXW249703460 BCX0\"\u003e\u003cspan class=\"EOP Selected SCXW249703460 BCX0\" data-ccp-props='{\"134233117\":false,\"134233118\":false,\"335559738\":240,\"335559739\":0}'\u003e\u003cspan data-contrast=\"auto\" lang=\"EN-GB\" class=\"TextRun SCXW207774086 BCX0\"\u003e\u003cspan class=\"NormalTextRun SCXW207774086 BCX0\"\u003eThe designs use traditional Chinese and Japanese glazes fired in oxidation in an electric kiln.
