Rick Henham
In earlier years I made a living from silver jewellery-making which has encouraged an impulse to mix materials so, using stainless steel wire in combination with simple forms and clean lines, I hope to produce black and white ceramics with a striking visual impact.
This work is influenced in part by such things as the human figure and Modernism. I trained at Harrow 1993-1996 and from shared workspace at The Chocolate Factory, Hackney, since then.

Commissioning Procedure
The forerunners of these pots were hand-built from unprocessed brick clay and worked in a manner that created very craggy and eroded rough textured surface qualities.
The black glazed vases which I now make have a more restrained surface treatment, nevertheless thrown from coarse stoneware clay where the grain is lifted on subsequent turning and scraping processes raised textural qualities result. In contrast my white glazed vases have a silky smooth feel.
