Eddie Curtis, a ceramic artist, developed Curtis Texture Paste to achieve the distinctive textures featured in his work.

He applies the paste to both sculpted and hand-built pieces crafted from ES40 Earthstone Hand-Building Clay and then overlays them with a blended slip version of Audrey Blackman Porcelain.

Curtis fires this unique combination in a flame-fired kiln under a reduction atmosphere, reaching stoneware temperatures of approximately 1300°C. He also explores oxidised electric firings, which introduce new parameters for further experimentation.

Curtis exhibits work internationally and as earned significant acclaim, including the Detlef-Schmidt-Wilkens Ceramic Prize at Oldenburger Keramiktage in Germany in 2016 and again in 2017, with the latter award specifically recognising his innovative surface treatment techniques.
