Phil Hayes
Phil made his first pots at school at the age of 14. After a long absence he came back to pottery at art school at 21. There he met potters who earned a living from working with clay and he set his mind to try to do this for himself.
After another 3 years at Stoke Poly he set up his first workshop on Anglesey and worked there until 2 years ago when he moved to Pwllheli. Phil has now been a full time potter for 27 years and whilst he has learned a lot in that time, pottery continues to be a learning experience. Over this time he has worked on thrown and hand modeled ceramics but he now works exclusively on the latter, making Raku fired humorous animal sculptures.
