Paul Young’s ceramics are a modern continuation of the Staffordshire slipware tradition overlaid with influences of European folk art and humour.

“I make a range of Domestic and Decorative Earthware ceramics using a combination both thrown and hand building techniques.

My inspirations are drawn from the Glorious English Folk Arts and wider European traditions .
Making reference to many historical pieces my aim is to convey a joy and a narrative ,a sense of humour and naivete very often found in early English ceramics .”
