John Maltby potter and sculptor (Crediton, Devon, England, UK)
http://www.beauxartsbath.co.uk/Xmas03/IMages/maltbypages/WindblownRed.htm
Maltby commenced as a potter inspired by Bernard Leach. Health
problems
led him to change direction towards figural ceramic sculpture. His
work
is spare and minimally decorated.
