Peter Swanson - Studio Potter

Peter Swanson has been potting in Cornwall since 1976. He works in high-fired reduction stoneware. His pots are glazed with ashes from different plants and woods such as Japanese Knotweed – which gives a wonderful pale blue glaze – Beech, Pine, Lavender etc and also various granite dusts. These natural materials give Peter's pots beautiful elemental colours. As well as a gas kiln, in 2005 he built a wood-fired anagama kiln. He fires to 1325 degrees to achieve the exceptional surfaces and textures which distinguish his work.
