"My aim as a maker is to produce work that is easy on the mind and eye in combination with a readily perceived function."
 

Jonathan was born and grew up in the far West of Cornwall and initially studied studio pottery at the Redruth School of Art in the early 1970's.

He potted as a hobby until 1990 when he enrolled as a mature student on the then newly formed Studio Ceramics degree course at Harrow, now part of the University of Westminster.

He achieved a very good honours degree and now pots full time at his workshop in St Just, West Penwith, Cornwall.

Most of his work is in stoneware fired to 1,280°C in a reducing atmosphere, though he does some oxidised stoneware and a little earthenware.

His output ranges from large planters to all types of domestic ware, full dinner services and one-off pieces.

He is very happy to discuss commissions.
