Notes
"My skill is only a fraction of the finished pot, for at every stage I am borrowing the forces of nature and adding to them a purpose."
- Andrew Walford
Walford works in the Anglo-Oriental tradition and is inspired by the indigenous African bush that surrounds his home and studio. Andrew is a hands-on, intuitive artist who is singularly involved in every aspect of making the ceramic item; from digging his own clay to forming and firing. He uses the influence of Japanese brush strokes to enrich his pottery which he refers to as Zulu-Zen mark making.
*This tile includes a wall-hanging bracket.
