Simon Rich - Potter
Simon
Rich trained with Alan Caiger-Smith at the Aldermaston Pottery
in the early sixties. His present workshop was established in
Narberth, Pembrokeshire in 1972.
For the last 25 years, Simon has been working on and perfecting
zinc crystalline glazes. The glazes are applied to porcelain and
then fired to 1270° C. The kiln temperature is then dropped
to 1140° C and held for up to five hours to allow the zinc
oxide to form crystals.
Simon also explores other techniques including terrasigilata and
raku pieces, along with glazed ware ranging in colour from azurite
(blue) to deep rich reds.
