Summary
Robert Hunter is a Scottish ceramicist based in Glasgow, soon to be relocating to Yorkshire in 2026. Robert's work is inspired by themes of time and place, using natural materials such as wild clay and his own developed ash glazes. Each piece reflects both his stage in life and the landscape around him. Having studied in Aberdeen, worked and learned in Mallorca, Spain, and completed a recent two-month residency at Starworks in North Carolina, Robert has travelled widely and gained insight from many great potters.
