Andrew Walford, born 1942, is one of South Africa most acclaimed potters, who exhibits in South Africa and internationally. He is the leading exponent in South Africa of the Anglo-Oriental ceramic tradition. Andrew has travelled to England, Sweden, Germany, Singapore, Bangkok, Hong Kong, Japan and Korea where he exhibited, taught, viewed and practised art. Andrew is a hands-on, intuitive artist who is singularly involved in every aspect of making the ceramic item; from digging his own clay to forming and firing. He visited legendary potters Bernard Leach in St. Ives, Cornwall, UK and Shoji Hamada in Japan, who profoundly influenced his artistic development. Andrew’s studio is in Shongweni, KZN and he often refers to his mark making as Zulu Zen. He uses the influence of Japanese brush strokes to enrich his pottery. I pack parcels very well using recycled materials where possible, both to keep costs down and be more sustainable. Please try to reuse or recycle packaging where you can.
