In this week's episode of The Capital of Craft, Sarah James from Craft Festival and Find a Maker talks with ceramic artist, Paul Wearing.

We discuss his two year long project, Material Matters, an Arts Council of Wales funded project that originated from an invitation from Ruthin Craft Centre to deliver a solo exhibition in 2020. We also discuss his meticulous material experimentation and how important field research is for his practise.

Brought up in Swansea, Paul has been based in Cardiff since graduating from Cardiff Metropolitan University. He is also a leading member of Fireworks Clay Studios based in the City Centre.

His solo exhibition, Flux & Poise is currently touring and can be visited at Find a Maker member, Mission Gallery, Swansea until March 12, 2022.

His work is stocked in leading galleries around the UK and he exhibits regularly at Craft Festival Bovey Tracey.
