Masterclass with Tricia Thom

摘要

Straight from school, I attended Grays School of Art in Aberdeen, graduating in 1985. Under the excellent tutelage of Ian Pirie (who sadly passed away earlier this year), I developed apassion for clay and a determination to master it on the wheel. After a post-graduate year exploring raku and winning the Jugend Gestaltet prize at the Internationale Handwerksmesse in Munich, I worked for Highland Stoneware Ltd, a production pottery based in the Highlands, for three years as a hand-decorator and part-time production thrower.
