Fergus Stewart is an internationally known ceramicist and producer of unique hand-thrown functional and decorative pieces, for use in the kitchen and on the table.
"Over time, I have developed a diverse repertoire of domestic and decorative forms that employ a comprehensive range of traditional pottery skills in their making and firing, creating a family of forms related by shared characteristics within the design, making and firing, sometimes challenging traditional concepts about use, and the presentation of food.
I work primarily at the wheel, throwing, altering and constructing by joining thrown forms to slabs and stretched thrown components. Many forms are finished away from the wheel by cutting and carving. Decorating and creating surfaces often incorporate local materials, with coloured slips and glaze in the green and bisque stages."
His work is made from stoneware and porcelain clays and is sustainably wood fired and salt glazed. The choice of colours is influenced by the vibrant greens, blues and natural tones seen from the Sutherland landscape and the rich and variegated surfaces decorated by the passage of the flame through the kiln.
