Graham originally trained in painting, establishing his present workshop and showroom in 1973. He is now mainly known for his sculpture in clay, creating handcrafted ceramic collections of characters from literature, fantasy and theatre based on portrait studies of human and animal forms; some castings in bronze and resin. Graham has worked in character origination film work and created several awards for the 'Yeats Club', which annually commissioned him to make prizes for poetry translations. This year, he will be making a 3-5 metre 'Alice' statue to be located in Christchurch Meadow, Oxford.
Video available featuring the emptying of the kiln, Graham making a 'Macho Pig' and talking. I speak in the showroom and barn about some personal pieces. We also see Dr Walter Wiechetek's 'Space Portrait' with all his interests placed strategically around him (as in early Holbein portrait practice) and the delightful Murdoch girls portrait.
Showroom open daily 10am - 6pm - but please telephone first especially if travelling a long distance.
