BEN ARNUP –
CERAMICS
Ben
Arnup has been a self employed ceramicist for 20 years, initially in
Berkshire, moving home to the York area in 1986.
Several gallery
exhibitions are made each year, mostly in England, supplemented in the past
by lecturing for York University, Hull University and at Cyprus College of
Art.
Recent making has
concentrated on geometric forms, especially from Venetian floor designs with
an interest in multiple forms – this feels like a definitive stage for this
type of design.
These objects are made from a variety of
clays, although a grogged porcelain body is preferred, slab constructed,
slip decorated and biscuited to 1000 deg C, then glazed and stoneware
reduction fired to 1200-1290 deg C.
