Paul grew up in a home where arts and craft working was strongly encouraged - many birthday gifts were paper and paint!

 

He first started working with ceramics since being introduced to it at school aged 11. Working at the Gladstone Pottery Museum in Stoke on Trent for a year convinced him that he wanted to work with ceramics. Following 3 years study in London at the Central School of Art and Design he set up a studio making pottery and hand decorated ceramic tiles.

 

He was selected to study glass engraving at the Orrefors Glass Company in Sweden in 1988,and shortly afterwards undertook commissions and started teaching in London.

 

Always having been interested in drawing and visual arts, he has spent recent years building up a portfolio of drawings and photographs, which form the reference source for a range of greeting cards and prints. From this an interest in bookbinding  was reawakened, and  he now devotes much time to  books.From making simple sketch books and journals for his own use , to interest from friends and clients, he is now a regular exhibitor at several of this countries  main book exhibitions.

 

It’s hardly surprising that his wide interest in arts and crafts shows itself in other ways, He has always been very interested in exploring other disciplines and working with different materials provides challenges and brings new ideas and insights.
