Height: 8.6cm (3.4”) Diameter: 10.8cm (4.25”) After an apprenticeship with the potter Geoffrey Whiting in 1985/6, Jack set up his own workshop in Seasalter on the North Kent coast. Then in 1988 he took over Geoffrey Whiting's teaching post at the King's School in Canterbury. He continued making and teaching for over 10 years before deciding to return to full-time making in 1999. His scientific training in botany and chemistry and his interest in geology and the natural world led him to investigate the Kent countryside for local materials to enhance his work. Winter coppicing and orchard management provide a rich source of ash for use in glazes. The Seasalter mud flats give iron-bearing clays for slips and glazes and this, alongside chalk and river alluvium; give a subtle spectrum of colours and textures. His self-sufficient approach includes building his own kilns, potter's wheel, as well as adapting 19th century farm equipment. Recently his explorations have extended westward to Cornwall's granite quarries and northward to the Cheviot Hills.
