Cryer, Rene

I work mainly in earthenware or paper clay nowadays and am influenced by natural forms – be they figurative, floral, birds, fish etc. The pottery varies in type from dishes, reliefs, clocks, coil and slab pots to sculptural shapes influenced by Henry Moore and others. Having retired from teaching art and crafts (including pottery) to a range of age groups – it is great to be able to pot when I am inspired to do so – hence the range of ceramic work!
