Alex Smith

I am mainly a self taught potter, having access to equipment in my teens, using the Milton Keynes Community Workshops to learn.  Although I have only recently purchased my own equipment, I have been potting for some years.  I work in stoneware, with traditional household work.  I like reactive glazes and enjoy what happens when you pour one glaze on top of another.  I also work in earthenware as it is easier to throw with.  I like big pots, but am working on my consistancy and production rates.  

My plans include building up stock and eventually selling my work via suitable markets, having sold individual commision pieces, I hope to sell more items.  In addition to this I am prepared to teach people to throw, but they would have to be OK with confined spaces as I have crammed a lot into a 6 x 8 shed.
