Nic Harrison
Ceramics
Nic moved to Cornwall in 1975 with his wife Jackie, a weaver. He trained
at Cornwall College, and then worked at The Leach Pottery, in St Ives.
In 1981, he established Trelowarren Pottery on the Trelowarren Estate near
Helston.
Nic’s workshop is now at Penhale Jakes in Ashton, near Helston. He
is continuously producing new collections of work for Exhibition, using
both Porcelain and Stoneware clays. He also makes an extensive range of oven
to table, kitchenware. His work is firmly rooted in ‘The Leach Tradition’.
The hand thrown forms show Japanese influences and have integrity and
honesty. The oxides of iron, copper and cobalt, produce surface colour inspired
by the rugged coastline seen from his workshop. His 27 cubic foot kiln is
reduction fired with propane gas to 1300’C.
Visitors to the workshop are always welcome.
