Ep.166 Rich Miller - Ministry of Arts Podcast

In this episode Gary Mansfield speaks to Rich Miller (@richmillerpots) Richard studied ceramics at the Surrey Institute of Art and Design, graduating in 2003. For the last 12 years he’s been running Froyle Tiles, a handmade tile company based in Surrey. Specialising in the bespoke production of high fired stoneware tiles, they have to date carried out a range of commissions for a variety of notable architects and designers. Richard has a passion for clay and continues his own studio practice, exhibiting his ceramics at selected shows.   Richard's work makes reference to historical design patterns. It draws on themes of British colonialism and the way in which the U.K. has become an eclectic mix of cultural styles, as immigration has brought with it a rich source of influence. Images associated with the colonies, that have become adopted by the British mainstream are the core influence on Richard's practice. More recently Richard fulfilled the role of judge on the Channel 4’s ‘The great Pottery Throwdown’.   For more information on the work of Rich Miller go to https://www.richmiller.co.uk/ To Support this podcast from as little as £3 per month: www.patreon/ministryofarts For full line up of confirmed artists go to https://www.ministryofarts.org Email: [email protected] Social Media: @ministryofartsorg Hosted on Acast.
