John Higgins

The pots that John makes refer most often to architecture, archaeology and everyday objects. A format is decided, but room is always allowed for spontaneous and expressive handling of the medium through slab formed or thrown elements. The clay is heavily grogged to withstand the unusual methods of making and the surfaces are treated simply with slips, stains, oxides and on-glaze colours. Both gas and electric kilns are used. John always makes pots, but the results continually question and criticise our perception of pottery.
