Born in 1950 Peter began working in potteries from 1967 in between travelling to various parts of the world and absorbing different cultures.

In 1974 he moved to St. Ives, Cornwall helping his family establish a pottery on the Penbeagle Estate, St. Ives.

Self taught he established his own pottery in 1976 working in earthenware. Over the years his method of working has evolved, he now works in reduction fired stoneware and porcelain, specialising in specific varieties of individual Ash Glazes.

There is a self built gas fired kiln of some 36 cu.ft. and is used for producing both domestic ware and individual pieces. Peter's work is sold mainly through galleries and exhibitions. Peter built an Anagama kiln in 2004. This has enabled him to explore surface decoration that is not possible in the gas kilns.
