Having taught himself to throw in the early 1970s, using Bernard Leach’s A Potter’s Book as his only guide, Phil Rogers has over the years established himself as one of the world’s leading studio potters.
Back in 2012 at the book launch for our ceramics publication Phil Rogers: A Portfolio, potter Phil Rogers presented an in-depth lecture on his life and work and gave a fascinating throwing demonstration in our gallery front room.
Here we take a look at Phil Rogers working with glazes in his studio. We see Phil applying Nuka, Shino and Tenmoku glazes to bisque-fired chawans, yunomis and bottles and experimenting with new glaze recipes and the peculiar behaviours and qualities of each glaze.
On Saturday 16th June 2012 we hosted the launch of Phil Rogers’ book ‘A Portfolio’ and an exhibition of his recent work.
