David Fry is one of Britain’s leading ceramic artists, based in Newcastle upon Tyne, England, UK.
He has practised for over 50 years, exhibited widely in the UK and abroad, featured in several specialist publications, and won many awards.
My unique, colourful glazed pieces inspired by my love of English Medieval and Oriental ceramics and Japanese Prints and the Fauvist artists.
To achieve the multi-layered ‘colour within colour’ effect I formulate the classical oriental glazing techniques: Flambe, Jun, Wood Ash, Copper Reds, Shino, Iron Blues, Celadons, and fire the work in a natural gas kiln I designed and built myself. These processes produce exquisite and unique pieces that exhibit a love for colour, beauty and depth, that can also be found in my paintings.
For further information on glazes, please click here: Oriental Mystery page and the Glazes page.
Update. My studio has now moved to North Tyneside, 4 miles away from the Newcastle Arts Centre where I was based for 35 years. And im now spending more time working on paintings and other art work. There is a mailing list for people interested in my new studio and new work. Please email me if you wish to be included on the list, for visits and studio exhibitions.
