Display artist/maker:

Peter Beard

Born: 1951, UK, England, Merseyside, Southport

Ceramicist. Beard studied industrial design and furniture design at Ravensbourne College of Art while maintaining an interest in ceramics first kindled as a child. Having helped set up a pottery in Scotland making thrown domestic pieces, he moved to Kent to set up his own studio, making one-off pieces.

Beard’s work is both thrown and hand built oxidised stoneware using shiny, matte and semi-matte glazes built up in layers to create textural surfaces largely in a range of pastel shades. He now lives and works in Leamington Spa. Beard is a Fellow of the Craft Potters Association.
