Description

Nice blue raku woodfired crackle glazed studio pottery vase by Hugh West, Possibly made at his former studio potteries in Newquay or Carnon Downs near Truro. Date: Circa 1971 & 1985. 

Condition: Pre-owned/like new.

Approx. Size/Dim: 4" (10.2 cm) High x 4" (10.2 cm) Wide.

At seventeen Hugh moved to Hereford to study at Hereford School of Art & Design, transferring to Redruth School of Art to take a further ceramics course for which he was awarded a diploma with distinction. After work experience with several established potters, Hugh opened my own pottery in Newquay in 1971.

An opportunity arose in 1975 to begin a large production pottery in Devon on the Flete estate. After this in 1982, he took his family to La Borne in the department of Cher, France, where an ancient pottery village still survives, repeating the traditional forms and ways of wood firing important to that region of central France, using an anagama kiln.

In 2000 he went again to live and work in La Borne.

Exhibitions and Memberships: These include numerous one-man shows in Britain; collective shows in Europe, Japan, the USA, Saudi Arabia, South Korea. I was a member of the Cornwall Crafts Associations, the West Country Potters Association and the Penwith Society of Arts. And became a member of the Association of Potters of La Borne.

Hugh returned to Cornwall in January 2014 and I have renewed his membership of the Cornwall Crafts Association.
