Stephen Murfitt

My work is driven by an obsession with clay and its’ versatility. Influences are diverse and include a fusion of visual elements seen in both the natural and built environments. The effects of weathering, erosion, corrosion and decay provide a constant source of reference. I became addicted to raku because of the essential close engagement with each stage of the process. I enjoy how the pots will reflect the intense drama of the firing. The making, glazing and firing methods result in pieces which are completely unique.
