Display artist/maker:

Sebastian Blackie

Born: 1949, UK, England, Huntingdonshire

Ceramicist. Blackie was born in Huntingdonshire and trained at Farnham and Goldsmiths in London. He has been an influential tutor both at Farnham and Derby. He works largely by coiling or cutting the clay with a wire, the process of making and firing being a fundamental part of the meaning of the work.

In 1989 he was a demonstrator at the International Ceramics Festival, Aberystwyth, where he constructed and fired a paper kiln. He has continued his interest in alternative kiln making and has travelled widely including to Norway, Japan, and Australia to show and demonstrate his skills.
