I make ceramic forms and vessels which are hand-built and Raku fired. ‘I became addicted to Raku because of the direct involvement with each stage of the process. The pots absorb and often reflect the intense drama of the firing.’ Influences are diverse and come from a fusion of visual elements seen in the natural and built environments. The effects of weathering and decay provide a constant source of reference. Small groups of related forms are hand-built simultaneously, the slow and contemplative pace of coiling allowing for considered developments and refinements to be made. Glazing and firing methods are adapted to enhance the form and surface of each piece. My book ‘CONTEMPORARY RAKU’ is now available from all good bookshops Represented in Cornwall by The Porthminster Gallery, in London by Contemporary Ceramics Centre, in Cambridge by Primavera Gallery, in Norwich by Fire and Flux, and in Sussex by Kellie Miller Arts See my Ceramic Review video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DVy52evz1V4 https://www.stephenmurfitt-ceramics.com/about daily 0.75 2022-04-12 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/59d223df32601e11ca6ee2c1/1628416381901-CWOV5206GUX9UKXJBSHE/Stephen+Murfitt+making+in+his+studio..JPG About https://www.stephenmurfitt-ceramics.com/collections daily 0.75 2025-08-14 https://www.stephenmurfitt-ceramics.com/contact daily 0.75 2020-05-10 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/59d223df32601e11ca6ee2c1/1589109597117-N05AYJBHFP724RHFDD4C/Forms+made+during+lock+down.jpg Contact https://www.stephenmurfitt-ceramics.com/process daily 0.75 2022-09-20 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/59d223df32601e11ca6ee2c1/1604403545551-GHE0H37TFC13EJ1YJX0N/3%2BAs%2Bsoon%2Bas%2Bthe%2Bpot%2Btouches%252C%2Bit%2Bignites%2Bthe%2Bsawdust..jpg Process https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/59d223df32601e11ca6ee2c1/1604400782486-HH5U18V5WAJGRNAM8Y95/4+when+cool+enough%2C+after+at+least+2-3+hours%2C+it+is+slowly+uncovered..JPG Process https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/59d223df32601e11ca6ee2c1/1604403473057-50MA4K1Y52XR9PYL3RPU/Reduction.jpg Process
