Bryan
was born in 1963 in Penshaw, Sunderland. When he left school he
went straight into his families builders and decorating business.
He learnt all he could about the building trade and continued
to work with his family for 11 years. He then felt he needed a
change and went to work for the local council as a housing inspector.
After 10 years working there, it was taken over by a housing company
and the combination of the changes at work and ill health affected
his life. It was then that he started 'playing' with clay. He
took to this immediately and found that he was wanting to make
every spare minute he had. At this stage setting the ceramics
up as a business seemed like the way forward. However in 2003
he had a major heart attack which has left him with long term
heart problems. This however has not deferred him from continuing
to make his own very unique, often humorous work, much to the
amusement and appreciation of his customers.
