Ceramics
David Wright, known as the Headless Cross Potter, grew up in Cleethorpes on the Lincolnshire coast. He gained a first class honours degree in Three Dimensional Design (Ceramics) at then Wolverhampton Polytechnic, before postgraduate study at the Royal College of Art in London. This included a placement at Wedgewood.
For over twenty years, David was the head of a design and technology faculty in a large secondary school. After taking early retirement in 2021, David returned to creating ceramics from a studio in his garden. His current work is mostly earthenware, but he also likes stoneware and raku clays. David uses hand building techniques, including press moulding, extrusion and slabbing, to create beautiful small scale lidded vessels and jars. Each piece is uniquely decorated with intricate surface patterns and glazed in jewel-like colours with finishing touches of bronze and gold. You won’t find anything else like them.
David exhibits widely in the UK, and has work in collections in France, Ireland, Japan, USA and New Zealand.
