Celebrating 45 years of exceptional ceramic artistry by Tim Andrews, a master of his craft.
Inspired by Bernard Leach’s retrospective exhibition at the V&A, Tim honed his skills through apprenticeships and set out on his own journey to create timeless, soul-touching pieces. Explore the chemistry between technical precision and serendipitous expression in his labour-intensive works, featuring a mix of throwing and hand-building techniques and finished with raku-firing.
“My work represents an ongoing dialogue between the technical sophistication of processes, serendipity, and timeless human qualities” – Tim Andrews
Tim’s pieces, marked by black and white linear decoration and bold splashes of colour, can be found in public and private collections worldwide. Tim is a fellow of the Craft Potters Association, Honorary President of the Westcountry Potters, and the author of two books on Raku.

“Through my education, practice and persistence I have developed a unique method with an aim of utilising the versatility of clay to its potential.”
“My making process is a daily repetition in a calm and quiet place. My work is a reflection of thoughts and sensibility in these moments of making.”
“I am wary of having a formula, thinking I have cracked the code… The feeling of satisfaction is surely my enemy. I need to stay focused on trying to create work that has real freedom in it, freedom from materials, method or mentality.”
“Central to my work is the concept of the vessel: creating associations with sharing, ritual and celebration, reminders of our humanity, our history and connection with nature.”
