Steve Harrison is a ceramic artist whose pots are created both to be seen and used. He trained for seven years, concluding at the Royal College of Art in 1993. Steve won the Queensbury Hunt Tableware award in 1991 and the Acme Malls award for work in the Victoria and Albert Museum Ceramics Contemporaries exhibition in 1996. He received a craft council award, which enabled him to set up his workshop in Enfield. He is a visiting lecturer in ceramics at Manchester and Kent Universities.
He draws his inspiration from the eighteenth century lathe-turned ceramics, which he applies to his work on the wheel. This gives his form a unique aesthetic quality in the world of modern ceramics.
Steve sees his work as individually crafted pieces, which are unmistakably members of a single family.
