Robin Welch is unique as far as British potters are
concerned. Initially he made a name for himself with a series of domestic
ware based on cylindrical forms, has created designs for the pottery industry
and paints as well as makes one-off pots. All that and starting out at the
Leach Pottery as well! In fact Robin's first real
introduction to pottery was while he was studying for a Diploma in Art &
Design at the Penzance School of Art. Although originally more interested in
sculpture, he began to take up pottery under the tuition of Michael Leach,
Bernard's youngest son, and worked at the Leach Pottery at weekends and
during holidays. Robin then spent a year at the
Central School of Art in Robin's importance is
illustrated by examples of his work being found in many public collections in
this country, including the V&A Museum London, as well as in Robin
made a large selection of teabowls at the end of 2004 especially for the
Harlequin Gallery “Teabowl” exhibition that took place during March 2005 and
had a solo exhibition here in 2007. |
