Simpson, Lyngard

I was trained as a ceramic artist at Royal Doulton and went on to be a ceramic restorer. This gave me an insight into the methods that were used in the past. Apart from firing my pieces in an electric kiln, I also use a reduction kiln. Being influenced by French,Hungarian and English Potters of the late 19th century I feel that I am entering a new phase of my work in that I am using my skills that I have learned and am trying to combine them in the pieces that I produce.
