Paul Scott's ceramics are Cumbrian Blue(s)....
"Paul Scott lives in Cumbria, North West England, in the type of rural area, which often attracts craft potters. Scott however, has gained international prominence in promoting a practice at odds with the traditional truth to materials and form/function concerns of craft potters, and indeed, of many studio ceramists. A leading proponent of ceramics and print, he has been instrumental in demonstrating the contemporary creative potential of a combination used in industry for hundreds of years to mass-produce decorative wares and tiles. The industrial associations of printed ceramics, the absence of direct traces of the maker's hand and the apparent lack of integrity in mechanically produced imagery, has not recommended this approach to ceramics purists. A decade ago finding print in a piece of studio ceramics would have been unusual, but it is now becoming a relatively common occurrence, not least because of Scott's pioneering example." (Dr Stephanie Brown, Keramik Magazine June 2001)
Paul’s commissioned work can be found in public places in the North of England, including Carlisle, Maryport, Gateshead and Newcastle Upon Tyne. His ceramic printed objects are in private and public collections around the world including Tullie House Carlisle Museum and Art Gallery, The National Museum Stockholm Sweden, The National Decorative Arts Museum Norway, and the Victoria and Albert Museum London.
He is a member of Contemporary Applied Arts, London and the International Academy of Ceramics. Vice Chair of the Artists Information Company he is a founder member of its Artists Advisory Group and AIR.
