David Fry is one of Britain’s leading ceramicists and studio potters and is based in Newcastle upon Tyne, England, UK.
He has practiced for over 40 years, exhibited widely in the UK and abroad,
and featured in several specialist publications and won many awards.
His unique, beautifully designed glazed stoneware is inspired by his love of English Mediaeval pottery and
the ideas and simple forms and glazes of the early Japanese, Chinese and Korean potters.
To achieve the multi-layered ‘colour within colour’ effect he reformulates the classical oriental glazing techniques: Flambe, Chun, Jun, Wood Ash, Copper Red, Lang-Yao, Shino, Iron Blues, Celadon, and high-fires the stoneware in a single burner natural gas kiln he designed and built himself. These processes produce exquisite and unique pieces that exhibit profound beauty and depth.
