Matt’s career in ceramics began on leaving school, with a 2 year apprenticeship at an established pottery in Kent, where he became skilled in production throwing techniques. He set up his own ceramics studio and has been a full-time potter since 2008. Experimentation with different clays and more complex glazes led him to crystalline glaze in 2009. Matt’s work is hand thrown in porcelain on the potter’s wheel and finished with crystalline glaze. Crystalline is a complex glazing process in which zinc silicate crystals form in the glaze during the firing, making every piece completely unique. His recent work has focused on developing new colour combinations using techniques such as coloured slips, post-fire reduction and acid etching to achieve new, contemporary finishes. Matt enjoys pushing the boundaries of form with his elegant and distinctive wheel-thrown bottle forms and vases, which are complemented by the colour combinations in his crystalline glazes.

The Own Art Scheme is an interest-free loan scheme set up by the Arts Council that is designed to make it affordable for everyone to buy original, high quality contemporary art and craft by letting you spread the cost of your purchase over 10 months.
You can choose any work with a retail price between £250 and £25,000 from our great selection of prints, paintings, ceramics, sculpture, glass and wood. It is not possible to buy gift vouchers with the Own Art Scheme.
You can borrow from as little as £250 up to a maximum of £25,000 . We then spread the cost of your purchase over 10 months with an interest free loan. For instance, if you buy a painting from us that costs £300 through the own art scheme, you would pay £30 in 10 monthly installments.
