ARA MORADIAN

D.F.L. (down-from-London) 8 years ago, I live and work in the coastal town of Folkestone, Kent in UK... Trained as a portrait sculptor, I have also taken up ceramics since moving to Folkestone and this year, I was one of 12 potters on the Channel 4/ HBO Max TV show The Great Pottery Throw Down... Turquoise colour, the sinuous ‘S' shape ( curve of an Ogee arch ) and ornamental metal work are reoccurring themes from my childhood growing up in Iran. They are a constant source of inspiration.
