Roger Cockram is an innovative potter who has been working in North Devon for
many years and, in doing so, has developed his own individual approach to
ceramics and - along the way - an international reputation for his work.
He studied ceramics at Harrow School of Art, gaining his Diploma in 1975. His
work is distinctive as it centres on ideas derived from observations of the
natural world of water. Its movements and rhythms, its colours and textures are
major preoccupations and the influences of this environment both on the terrain
around it and the life found in it, also figure strongly in Roger’s work.
His work results in various vessel forms, often quite large, sometimes incised
and involving modelling and painting. He uses several sponged layers of vitreous
slips and various matt and gloss glazes. These often bleed up through one
another during the firing to give a strong sense of depth to the surface.
