Mike Braisher

Mike has potted as a pastime from an early age and taught ceramics in several Further Education Centres in Hampshire, as well as running courses in Hampshire schools.
Since taking retirement from teaching twelve years ago potting has become his main occupation. He enjoys making very large storage vessels, chargers, bowls and pitchers, usually decorated with tenmoku, chun or copper red glazes. Many often have an ammonite motif. He also produces a range of oven to tableware. All pieces are thrown, individual and either reduction fired to cone 10 in a forty cubic feet gas kiln of my own design or oxidised in an electric kiln.
He is an Academician of the South West Academy of Fine and Applied Arts. He is also a member of Southern Ceramic Group, London Potters and the New Zealand Society of Potters. He visits New Zealand for three months nearly every year and make various pieces, exhibit and often demonstrate potting to different groups throughout the country. His work has found a place in many collections throughout the world.
