Daniel Boyle

Daniel's pieces are contemporary, functional, wheel-based forms, things to be used and enjoyed. He combines traditional and modern ways of working, firing in a 75 cubic foot catenary arched kiln with wood to 1300o centigrade. These firings produce many original surfaces and colours. He aims to create works which are individual and original  in  design and execution.
