Through to his current role as co-owner of Pottery For The Planet, where he combines his passion for sustainability with his art, creating a range of ‘reusable’ products aimed at reducing single-use plastic waste, alongside a unique range of ceramic homewares.
“Throughout my life I have been fortunate to have art as a medium to communicate my views on the bigger environmental, social and political issues we face on the planet,” he said.
“In recent years we have taken this one step further in creating products that are beautiful, functional and most of all, great for the planet.”
