Display artist/maker:

Henry Pim

Born: 1947, UK, England, Sussex, Heathfield

Ceramicist. He studied at Camberwell School of Art as a mature student. His work is first constructed in paper or lino, cut and held with masking tape. The pieces are then used like a dressmaking pattern to cut out textured slabs of clay from which the vessels are built. The textured surface is created by pressing the sheets of clay with a carved plaster rolling pin. Multiple layers of slip, engobe and glaze are then applied to the textured surface. Pim is influenced by Greek forms as well as the work of Antonio Gaudi He is Ceramics Course leader at National College of Art & Design, Dublin
