Viv Robertson

I studied ceramics in the 1960’s at Falmouth Art School and Bournemouth and Poole College of art. I then went on to become a teacher in Berkshire and ran a small studio pottery with my then wife (now a close friend!) When we split up in 1973 I moved back to Cornwall and diversified into music and boats. This involved a lot of travel and my pottery interests were largely put on hold.

There was a brief period in the ‘80’s when I taught pottery in a training centre for young people.
Now that I am firmly established back in Cornwall I have decided to return to ceramics and have converted my garage into a studio. I have managed to set it up on a shoestring with second –hand kiln and wheel and using the inspection pit as a clay store!
For the time being I am firing with electricity and producing mainly individual items; both thrown and hand-built; in oxidised stoneware. I hope, however, to do some reduction and possibly raku in the future.

I now have work in the Creftow Gallery in Helston; the Savoy House Gallery in Mullion and Gallery 49 in Falmouth. This is in addition to my own small gallery here at home.
