Peter Hayes

It was good to see the Rufford exhibition space hosting another great ceramics exhibition. After firing his raku forms, Peter develops their surface textures with techniques such as lengthy submergence water, sanding and burnishing. The work exhibited ranged from small burnished forms through to large totems and a wonderful water feature in the form of a large raku disc form with a central turquioise resin band.

 

Peter employs many interesting techniques in his work, please visit his website www.peterhayes-ceramics.uk.com to find out how he uses amongst other things, cow dung and flattened oil drums.
