About John Tuckwell

I have worked as a Ceramicist for over 30 years.

Originally I was self taught making birds and fish for the gift trade.

After about ten years I went to the Australian National University. After Finishing study I took a different path to the birds and fish. Every few years I change what I make a bit.

The current work is a form of hybrid. I take elements of ceramic functional ware and a small amount of landscape to produce an abstract sculpture. It’s important to me to leave room to change while the pot is being made.

I work with porcelain exclusively. building with some small idea of where it is going. Surprises are good.
