Gavin Nettleton returned to ceramics in his retirement after a career as a e-learning specialist. He turns both stonerware and porcelain, decorating the former with textured slip and manganese oxide and the latter with simple buttery glazes and cobalt oxide. Form and texture are his particular focus and he also produces some with which is turned then altered and finished by hand.
