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.
He is always interested to talk about all sorts of arts and crafts, and
welcomes diverse commissions across all sorts of creative disciplines.
