Peter van Ketwich has continuously created with clay since his training, with the skill to throw very large platters etc. Imagine the satisfaction of contributing to a treasured master’s livelihood by going direct to the artist for a pot rather than an auction room.
Living in the outer suburbs of Melbourne surrounded by dense ferny bushland, the colors, lines and textures inspire the surface finishes and brushwork. In his studio, Peter continues to make sculptural, functional and semi functional ware.
Selling ceramics at artisan markets, Ceramics Fairs and by commission to individuals and garden centres has not always been a solo trip with fellow artist Peter Hook being a road trip collaborator.
Self taught in may skills, Peter is self sufficient and highly skilled in all aspects of ceramics: building and operating ceramic studios and their equipment; glazes, kiln construction and firing, hand building and throwing: welding and construction.
Peter van Ketwich is a renaissance man, a dancer, musician, cook, orator and a natural born teacher.
