Signed by the artist Peter Wills. The work of Peter Wills, a professional potter since 1989, has evolved over the years in the context of attention to detail, balanced form/decoration, and passion – all of which he believes are crucial. Bernard Leach’s “Book of the Potter” and the whole spirit underlying this work had one of his strongest influences. We were also inspired by Chinese pots from the Song and Tang dynasties, as well as the works of major European potters of the 20th century, such as Lucy Rea, Hans Koper and Michael Cardew. The potter artist and one of the first members of the CPA, Derek Davis, as well as teacher Sue Nichols, had a deep and lasting influence on his work. His work has been widely exhibited in the UK, as well as in Italy, Brussels, Spain, the Netherlands, Japan, the UAE, Germany and the USA. The commission included representatives from his local council and the Princess of Wales Hospital in Bridgend! In the spring of 1998, he received his most prestigious order to date, when His Majesty’s government asked him to make bowls for gifts to nineteen heads of European states who were visiting the Cardiff summit! His pots have traveled all over the world and can be found in public and private collections in the UK and around the world. In his small workshop, Peter used to work with white clay, which he mixed according to his own recipes, but lately he has been working with English porcelain Valentine Clays. Its current production is almost complete- therefore, the cost of his products is increasing in price!
