Peter Beard

The objective of my work is to produce beautiful objects that are modern but which owe an allegiance to history, giving them a timeless quality. Strong simple shapes are decorated with complex glaze surfaces to complement the form and excite the eye.
Landscape in all forms is my main source of inspiration, along with ancient artefacts and the art of ancient Egypt.
Combinations of shiny, matt and semi-matt glazes are built up in layers to create the textural surfaces during firing. Wax is used to isolate areas during glaze application.
