Biography

Andrew Major is a painter and ceramist who works from his garden studio in the Scottish Borders.

Andrew was born and grew up in Bristol and trained in fine art and ceramics. In 2002 he moved to West Cornwall to pursue a full-time career as an Artist and Ceramist, finally settling in the Scottish Borders in 2015.

Taking inspiration from the surrounding landscape and using a mixed media palette he produces paintings which have a reflective and atmospheric quality.

Andrew’s ceramics are hand built or sculptured in either stoneware or earthenware clays often incorporating other materials such as driftwood and metal.

Decorated with oxides, engobes and hand mixed glazes the work can take on a quirky and playful quality.
