Simon Shaw

Simon Shaw studied at Wirral College of Art and Design and then Braintree College in Essex.

After Employment as a Ceramicist in several UK companies in 1988 he established his own workshop in his native Merseyside. He continued to produce thrown tin-glazed tableware until 1995 whilst lecturing on a part-time basis at Wirral Metropolitan College.

From 1995 until mid 1997 he produced ceramics from a workshop in Bermuda, before returning to re-establish his workshop in Merseyside. The work is thrown in stoneware, earthenware, porcelain and raku clay combinations, with turning kept to a minimum. The work is then fired to Cone 5.
