Bell, Roger

I am a sculptor making work to fit into a domestic setting. I also make ‘useful’ objects – coasters and planters. My inspirations are eclectic and include the jigsaw form, architecture, abstract pictures and sculpture, and furniture. I roll out clay into slabs, cut and assemble them, model, then add pattern and texture. Work is is either raku fired or terracotta to 1190C.Sculptures may be on wood or slate plinths and may incorporate wire, textile or other materials. Hanging pieces are also produced.
