Willie Carter

Willie was born in Wick in the far north of Scotland and, following a three year ceramics course at Chesterfield Art College, has pursued a successful career as a potter for over 25 years. 

 

His studio is in Farndon at Top Farm Pottery. Here he has developed a range of mainly thrown, highly decorated Earthenware, each piece individually brush decorated with a variety of animals and fish in mediterranean colours.

 

Over the years, a love of modeling clay has resulted in the evolution of hand built animal sculptures. These figures have a free flowing, spontaneous feel, which captures the creature's character and range from bisons and beagles to a complete bridge of elephants. 

 

Willie also runs pottery classes, phone or email for further details.
