In Conversation | Phil Rogers with Rev’d Richard Coles

Rev’d Richard Coles in conversation with potter Phil Rogers, over Zoom, back in May 2020.  The Rev’d Richard Coles has been a collector of studio pottery for many years, particularly of Phil Rogers’ work. They discuss Phil’s life in pottery and the sources of his inspiration, including Korean and Japanese pots, the work of Shoji Hamada and his meeting with Tatsuzo Shimaoka in Japan. They chat about Phil’s forms and glazes and we see pots from his major exhibition at Goldmark Gallery. Phil sadly died in December of that year but this is a lovely reminder of the man and fitting tribute to the great potter that he was.
