Gordon BALDWIN

Dates: b. 1932

Born in Lincoln he is one of Britain's leading ceramic artists who straddles the divide between the vessel form and ceramic sculpture. He trained at the Central School of Art & Design, London under Dora Billington. His early work consisted of multiple bowls and pierced boxes and later moved toward more monumental sculptural forms with graphic markings on a white surface. He was awarded an OBE in 1992 and the Jerwood Prize for Applied Arts in 1996. His work is in the Victoria & Albert Museum and in many prestigious international public collections.
