About
From Arwyn’s early days at Loughborough College of Art and Design, where he began to find his direction and a natural affinity with clay, throwing has always been his preferred method of making pots.
Arwyn believes that making pots isn’t a job, it’s a way of life, an obsession, a devotion.
Processing and preparation are key. He plans and visualises his work mentally before he begins, usually while he weighs and wedges his clay, and prepares to throw. The act of preparing the clay imparts the space for an idea to evolve; the act of throwing a pot allows for its materialisation.
The Bauhaus/Corbusier mantra of ‘form follows function’ drives the development of his work and informs its simplicity and purpose. He strives to create a perfect pot: balanced, simple, functional. Making pots is a life-long journey, and he is continually refining and honing his skills through practice and repetition.
