Douglas is a ceramic artist with a background in software development. He discovered pottery three years ago and quickly became captivated by its rhythm, complexity, and grounding physicality.

Drawn to the alchemy of the process, Douglas finds particular joy in alternative firings such as Raku and pit firing. These outdoor, fire-driven methods reflect his fascination with both natural elements and unpredictable outcomes. His technical background complements the methodical and layered nature of ceramics — from the chemistry of glazes to the intricacies of firing cycles.

As his practice evolves, Douglas is exploring the creative dimensions of form, colour, and function. His work is a dialogue between control and spontaneity, precision and play. He sees this as just the beginning of a long and rewarding relationship with clay and art-making.
