| RONNIE FULTON CERAMICS
PROFILE “Having moved from Portpatrick on Scotland’s west coast to North Berwick on the east in 2005, I am slowly adjusting to the lack of rain, the cold east wind and salt’n’sauce with my chips! Sharing a studio with Dave Cohen has been a fantastic experience. Every week I discover a new approach, working method or find myself inspired by his complete mastery of ceramics. It is amazing how versatile and expressive a material clay is, that I can still be learning after 30 years of potting. My work is still mainly influenced by boats, the sea and our interaction with it. I hate to make moulds so most work is made using a combination of slab, pinch or throwing. Coloured slips are used to decorate and stoneware glazes add depth and variety to the work. Often I incorporate objects found while beach combing. This could involve melting sea glass into a boat or mounting work on driftwood. All work is therefore individually made and each piece unique. I enjoy working with clay and hope that this is reflected in my work.” Ronnie Fulton 2007.
