Artist Profile
Jon Roynon
Jon is a ceramicist based near Bath. His background as structural engineer is evident in his work with symmetry and precision being evident in his forms. His work is a blend of traditional techniques fused with elements of digital design.
His work includes slip cast pieces based on his own unique 3D digital designs, forms constructed from complex extruded pieces using unique custom designed dies, slab built pieces to act as blank canvas to receive his glaze designs and hand thrown items finished with his signature digitally designed silhouette decoration. His work is mostly fired using the ancient Japanese Raku process to produce pieces of a unique blend of the super precise and raw uncontrollable power of fire. He also produced stoneware glazes deroatedd with his signature homemade drippy glazes.
Jon was lucky enough to be a finalist on Series 6 of the Great Pottery Throwdown where his digital approach stood him out from his peers.
