Artist Statement

Working from his studio gallery, Hothouse Ceramics in Sudbury Courtyard, Terry creates a range of decorative functional ceramics inspired by the colours, textures and ever-changing moods of the Derbyshire landscape. Each unique piece is hand thrown on the wheel, often with added slip applied to the outside whilst still on the wheel or texture inscribed into the soft clay echoing the rugged Peak District landscape. Intense and vibrant colour is introduced through the use of multicoloured layered glazes, these flow and intermingle making each piece individual.
