Paul Taylor

Paul’s work centres on the vessel, using thin slabs of textured terracotta, assembled, and fired multiple times aiming to transform simple materials into pottery that has its own distinctive characteristics. Paul creates vessels with interesting configurations, surfaces and textures and is fascinated by the alchemy that occurs during the firing process. His work is fired multiple times, the final firing is a low temperature saggar firing producing a range of surprising and often unpredictable outcomes. Paul endeavours to explore the full range of possibilities of one simple form. His aim is to create pottery with an almost classical and timeless quality.
