The Star field Moon Jar  reflects on the period of great progressive innovation and growth of the 1950’s, 60’s and 70’s , I have investigated aesthetics and techniques to exhibit a diverse and dynamic mimetic of star fields imparting technology, the space race, and this great period of  proliferate creative diversity. 	Through research and development I created a black slip and “beading” glaze to create this aesthetic: it is important that the slip does not interact with the glaze. 	The work’s influences are rooted in this progressive period of modernism with investigations into the great work of post war Hungarian and West German ceramicists.

Nigel worked in broadcast television for over 30 years as an editor, director, and independent producer. After retiring in 2015, he returned to full-time education, studying art and ceramics at Cardiff Metropolitan University, where he gained a first-class BA (Hons) in ceramics. He now lives and works at his studio in the small Oxfordshire village of Fernham. He was raised in rural coastal Devon during a time of great social, economic, and technical change in the 1950s, 60s, and 70s. Coastal geography and local rural environments are important issues to him, and these themes are always present in his work.
