Paul Philp

About

Paul Philip unites refined classic forms with highly tactile surfaces to create pieces that hold a strong individual identity. Working from his studio in Bath he slowly develops these robust, pared-back shapes using various hand-building methods. The vessels are fired no less than four times, with layers of slips and oxides introduced at each stage. The resulting textures and abraisons suggests an existance outside of time and a feeling of calm serenity.
