I discovered the joy of working with clay by chance. I was trudging home from my weekly shopping in the Portobello Road when I noticed a muddy front door at the top of a flight of stone steps. The door was part open so I gave it a push and walked in. Inside was a […]
Text: The test piece in the first image shows a Japanese White eye bird amongst cherry blossom and this has been created using my own powder blue clay body. Since the start of this year I have been working on new ideas for creating a coloured back ground to my sgraffito designs. I have already […]

I thought it would be really nice to start to profile artists that I admire from all across the wide ranges of art. Here it made sense for me to start with my father Colin Scull. My dad who is now based in Newquay in Cornwall is still carving at over seventy years of age […]
