John Maltby
Sculpture
John trained at Leicester and Goldsmiths originally as a sculptor and then trained as a potter in David Leach’s studio. However, as an admirer of Paul Klee, Picasso and Alfred Wallis he has seldom made two pots the same. Since 1996 he started making figurative pieces, which are made in stoneware clay and decorated with coloured clays. The Pieces are fired to 1220 oC and a third firing to 750 oC for textured effects, making each piece unique, with a simple beauty of form, filled with passion and depth. John exhibits both internationally and within England.
