David Cleverley

Born: 1958, UK, England, Hastings

Ceramicist. He studied at Hastings school of Art and later at Goldsmith’s College , London before moving to Devon to make pottery in Haytown. Initially he made brown domestic earthenware decorated with sprigging but, after 1992, he began to make large slab built figures based on 18th and 19th century Staffordshire flat backs. He uses mythological, biblical and historical figures often combined with allegorical creatures. He adds words and titles printed on the platform bases to give each piece a humorous or ironic twist
