Jason Wason is providing new work
for the pottery from Cornwall exhibition and like many of the participants
does have connections with the Leach Pottery. Jason was born in Liverpool in
1946 and started working at the Pottery in 1976. He continued there until
1981 when he opened his own studio near St. Just. However, I think that it is
fair to say that his current work owes more to what he saw and learnt during
8 years spent travelling extensively in North Africa, the Balkans, the Middle
East and Asia before settling down to pot than to his St. Ives experience. Since starting his own studio, Jason has
exhibited around the world, including solo exhibitions in the National Museum
& Gallery, Liverpool; Boymans Van Beuningen Museum in Rotterdam and on
several occasions at the Seto City Cultural Centre in Japan, as well as
having work on display in the Tate, St. Ives. Jason when describing his work states that
all pots are without glaze, are thrown or hand-built, with my own recipe of
clay made up for me by Dobles clay pit, St. Agnes. The pots are decorated
with subtle mixtures of oxides and fired up to 1150 degrees Celsius.
