PIERRE WILLIAMS ART CERAMICS

"I have always had a natural ability working with my hands."
Starting my adult life I trained and worked as a Toolmaker and development engineer. This satisfied me for a while, but I was desperate to be more creative. I had always had a passion for art and this was always a primary focus for me since childhood and an urge to pursue it was not going away.
​
I taught myself how to paint with oils and made sculptures with metal and other materials, but I didn't know how to be an artist or how an artist should work, this kept me in a kind of limbo of producing some pieces, but not knowing what to do next. Eventually at the age of
thirty two I sold my house and enrolled on a Foundation course at Hereford college of Art, where I discovered I was interested in ceramics as I felt this gave me everything I wanted as regards form, colour and texture. This led onto a degree course at Cardiff where I honed the
skill of throwing on the potter's wheel and studying stoneware glazes.
​
As well as working at my studio I also ran the ceramic department at Hereford college of Art and then moving to teach at the Royal National College for the Blind. This work allowed me to develop a direct way of working with clay which came from constantly doing quick demos
for the students which is still active in my work today. I also gain an incredible amount of knowledge in this field during this time.

Very nice work. Your evolution as an artist is quite interesting. And I like that you also paint.

I'm absolutely in love with his work! I too am an artist and his words hit home so hard. Being an artist is so stressful most times as time and money control one's ability to create. It's such a downward spiral sometimes and so humiliating. You live being unable to create but yearning to create. When you finally get to create this head space actually affects how you work! It seems impossible. I'm almost 60 and have lived within this unfulfilling struggle my whole life yet still create for my very survival. His little sculptures are so beautifully decorated that they leave me speechless! The paintings are another level. Just gorgeous!!! Please keep creating your original art work. If I had some money I would definitely invest in your work!!! You are bound to be successful. Your time is now darling. Enjoy. Your words and work have helped me too to find more inner grace. Thank you for being so honest and beautiful. It's made me different somehow today. Bless.

Most people do not like the life they have lived. Just Do.
