I am a potter based near Stockbridge, on the
Hampshire/Wiltshire border in England.
Most of the work I produce is based on vessel forms - bowls,
plates, vases and the like. Some are thrown, and some hand
built. I have developed most of the glazes I use. Pieces may be
fired in an electric kiln, or wood fired in an anagama kiln (often
unglazed).
I’ve found that I have a more technical and analytical approach
compared to many potters, and also have an
engineering/scientific background. Using these skills, I’m
producing the Tech web site as a technical resource for
potters.
TIM THORNTON CERAMICS
The Tech pages offer technical information for potters. Currently this covers
two aspects:
•
Health and Safety in the Studio
•
Product Safety for the end user
with more to come in time.
Information is provided free of charge, though if you find it useful I ask you to
make a small contribution through PayPal or Patreon
The shop pages show some of the pots I make, has an online shop that you
can buy from (with worldwide shipping), and also gives information of shows
and exhibitions that I am attending.
