David Craig Howson

David Craig Howson is a studio potter based in the Staffordshire Moorlands, drawing inspiration from the region's rugged landscape and the simplicity of Nordic pottery traditions.

David creates work that reflects both the natural beauty of the Staffordshire Moorlands landscape and a deep appreciation for ancient artefacts and Scandinavian culture. The earthy tones, textures, and functional forms characteristic of Nordic pottery influence each piece, blending tradition with contemporary craftsmanship.

David fires in an oxidation atmosphere using mainly dark-grogged clay and every creation is thoughtfully made, embodying a connection to the land, the clay, and the timeless art of pottery.
