Russell Kingston

Russell has always been a maker. He studied art through college before enrolling - almost on a whim - on a Foundation Degree in Ceramics. Alongside his creative path, he has had a varied working life: he is a qualified carpenter and has worked as a firefighter, stonemason, picture framer, florist and pizza chef, with a number of smaller jobs in between. For the past ten years he has worked as a full-time potter, leaving the retained fire service around four years ago.
