Kevin de Choisy, who was born in 1954, is one of those rare individuals who are able to produce top quality work in earthenware and stoneware, as well as porcelain. After training in ceramics at Harrow School of Art, Kevin went out to the United States, where he did production throwing, as well as other more mundane jobs. After staying there for over 12 years he returned to England in 1991 he became a ceramic technician at the University of the West of England and it was there that he developed many of the forms and the decoration that he uses today. He is best known for his contemporary take on the polychrome and creamware glazes that were developed in England during the Industrial Revolution by Thomas Whieldon, William Greatbatch and the like, which the Sancai teabowl above exhibits. More recently Kevin has become interested in Chinese Song ceramics and the celadon glazes in particular. To my mind he is currently the country’s leading authority on high fired Oriental glazes, having a real feel and understanding of the subtleties of the many types of celadon.
