Ewen Henderson (1934-2000) was born in Staffordshire. In the late 1960s he studied ceramics at Camberwell College of Arts, where Hans Coper and Lucie Rie were teaching. He later taught at Camberwell and Goldsmiths and exhibited widely. Henderson’s chief interest was the clay material, and particularly paper clay which he first used as a filler and later as an integral part of his work. Meshed and moulded, torn and twisted, these materials cling together by vitrification in the kiln, the colours rising to the surface. His work has been described as ‘high fired monoprints’ , as his pots could only be pulled once, and the unpredictability of the firing makes each work truly unique.
