I arrived to the sounds of Pink Floyd echoing from no. 19, the studio of local potter/sculptor and accomplished painter Peter Harris. 
An intriguing morning spent listening to and photographing this versatile artist, an artist who through his work shares his thoughts and opinions on controversial issues and tragedies that surround us today.
Working in clay since 1975 Peter is one of our regions Master potters. 
Such an honour to have been welcomed into his studio to spend time documenting his story and his art.
Thank you Peter.
