William Plumtre

William Plumptre attended Chelsea College of Art and then spent two years in Japan, including one year in the studio of Tatsuzo Shimaoka (a Living National Treasure in Japan) who was in turn a pupil of Shoji Hamada.
The influence of both is evident in his work, especially his beautiful square pots and plates. I was lucky enough yesterday to be walking past Euan Mundy Fine Art, in Glasgow, where Plumptre is currently exhibiting, and popped in for a look. Unsurprisingly, I didn't walk out empty handed (see picture)...
