In his youth Peter collected (mainly damaged) Chinese Kangxi and 18th Century European porcelain, regularly visiting Portobello and Bermondsey Market at 6am. His making came later, but is influenced by the pieces he bought, studied, and has loved over the years. These pots have of course been themselves influenced by earlier ceramic, silver, and pewter forms.
Tarragon gained a BA Fine Art in 2003 from Nova Scotia College of Art and Design University, and an MA Fine Art in 2007 from Central Saint Martins. He admires the historically nomadic nature of ceramic ware. This tendency of pottery to move from one place to another, carrying with it commodities, aesthetics, and ideas, converges with his use of water as a decorative motif.
