Tim Andrews

Tim Andrews has gained an International reputation for his distinctive smoke-fired and raku ceramics. He makes individual Raku work (from £60 to £3500). Many are black and white with linear decoration or burnished with muted coloured slips.

The pieces are usually thrown, although recent pieces are hand-built. Bisque-firing is in a conventional gas kiln to 1060 degrees Celsius. Many pieces have a 'resist' slip and glazes applied and are then fired in a 'top hat' glass-fibre kiln to around 1000 degrees Celsius, before removal when red-hot to a smoking chamber. When cold the resist glaze is chipped off and the pot cleaned up and waxed.
