Natural musings
- • Paul applies 9-12 different glazes on one object
- • He didn't touch clay for three years after his master’s
- • Natural cycles of growth and decay fascinate him
Paul Wearing completed both his bachelor's and master's in ceramics at Cardiff School of Art and Design. In between the two courses, he ran a gallery and studio with a few other graduates in Cardiff for three years. When the studio community broke up, he returned for his master's degree, which he completed after only one year. During this time he was faced with a number of theoretical and philosophical questions concerning his art. Until he clarified these, he lost his motivation to dip his hands in clay. After spending a few years working in the university library, he joined the ceramic studio cooperative Fireworks Clay Studios in Cardiff. The support and appreciation he received from the studio community renewed Paul's motivation and defined his current style. He creates precise hand built ceramics which, through layers of different glazes, take on a natural look and feel that is reminiscent of growth and decay.
