Here at Froyles Tiles Ltd, we are very much like a family with a shared passion for traditional ceramics. After completing an MA in Ceramics in 2003, Richard began making domestic ware as well as teaching the art of ceramics in and around Surrey. His passion for traditional methods stems from a love of making (and mud-slinging!)
A trip to Japan reinforced Richard's love of ceramics. While in Japan, he was able to hone his wood firing skills by building Anagama kilns for both his own work and collaborations with others. Richard's enthusiasm for his subject is infectious and has made him a popular teacher and volunteer for many years at Art in Action and Art in Clay.
