What am I doing ?

My name is Rick and I am making ceramics in the heart of Suffolk. After graduating from a Fine Art and History of Art degree at Goldsmiths I was unsure as to what my artistic practice would entail. Throughout my degree I had a strong interest in the decorative arts because of their very nature of use and integration into daily life. 

When I am making I keep in mind how an item will be used and lived with, I try to create objects that balance form and colour sympathetically to achieve an item that will continue to provide joy to the user. 

I find myself in a world where everything moves increasingly quickly. I find great solace in the process of ceramics as it allows me to slow down and collect my thoughts and intentions. The very essence of the process of ceramics allows for constant exploration and refinement. 

Thank you for coming to my page, I do hope you can join me as I trudge the road of happy destiny, wherever that may lead.
