Jason Wason

After travelling extensively, Jason Wason moved to Cornwall in 1976 and worked at Bernard Leach’s St Ives Pottery in tableware production. From the late 1980s, he has concentrated on his own, increasingly bigger, ambitious sculptural objects inspired by the great ceremonial wares of the past, some of which have been cast in bronze and silver.

The dramatic setting of Jason Wason’s studio and home give an insight into the inspiration behind the power and beauty of his ceramics. Working and living in an isolated farmhouse on high cliffs near St. Just, one of Britain’s most westerly points, Wason is exposed to the stark beauty of the elements; a beauty which clearly informs his work.
