About Steve Cartwright
Steve Cartwright, Cheshire born artist, worked as a fashion photographer for 25 years before turning to ceramics. He draws on his prior experience to inspire his simplified torso sculptures. Cartwright studied the practice under ceramicist Barry Guppy at his Pimlico studio in the late 90s. Guppy himself was tutored by the well renowned ceramic artists Lucie Rie and Hans Coper. Cartwright has exhibited at a number of London galleries and now works from his studio back in Cheshire. Each of Cartwright’s pieces is handmade and constructed robustly from stoneware clay that is fired to around 1250c.
