Adrian Childs

Born: 1947, UK, England, London

Ceramicist. After studying 3 dimensional design at Hornsey College of Art, he worked as a ceramic sculptor initially before before becoming a studio potter. He spent years renovating a workshop at Blaenau Ffestiniog, North Wales, in the 1970s. He made functional slipware, inspired by traditional slipware especially from Buckley in North Wales. In 1980 this was realised in an exhibition 'Slip into the Eighties' at Aberyswyth Arts Centre showing his work alongside a selection from the University Collection. He was a founding figure in the development of the International Ceramics Festival initiated in 1987. In 2005 he relocated to northern Italy with his wife Sheila Tyler where they are renovating an old house
