Steven's science vessels tell a tale. Steven moved away from a career as a scientist and took an Art Foundation Course in Brighton and then gained a Ceramics Diploma at London City Lit, London.These vessels refer back to this past career.

All of Steven’s work starts with walking - integrating landscape and a sense of place. Out on the marshes, heaths and in the woods, he collects interesting finds and records the landscape through photography, print making and drawing. Found muds and clays are dug, washed, sieved, dried and ground to a powder. When combined with wood ash from bonfires and wood burners and transformed by the heat of the kiln, delicate and site-specific glazes are formed.
