Alex McCarthy's work is inspired by the artist’s fascination for touch. His tactile work is inspired by textures that surround us.
His tactile work is inspired by textures that surround us such as; tree bark, natural rocks, cracking paint and marine life. Each artwork is thrown and fired several times: metal oxides add depth whilst the gold, platinum and copper lustre add a sense of opulence. Alex says: ‘Each piece has its own story to tell. I want the viewer to interact with the work through touch and perhaps see if they can feel the pot’s journey'.Alex has a First Class Honours from the Cardiff School of Art and Design and has won several awards including the Craft & Design Selected Makers Award. He also completed the Crafts Council's prestigious Hothouse programme for the best new talent in crafts.
