Biography:
Jeff Teasdale is an Artist in Education whose own work moves between raku ceramics, sculpture, drawing, and painting.
He has had 25 years experience in art education, and is a provider of stimulating courses and workshops in two- and three-dimensions to all ages from nursery, primary, secondary and the adult sectors. He is also a senior examiner, coursework advisor and presenter for the AQA examination board for their Art and Design syllabuses (www.aqa.org.uk).
Jeff's raku ceramics are largely derived from the rock and boulder formations of the Peak and Staffordshire Mooorland Districts, with their glaze patterns coming from the sky and field formation patterns he encounters there.
Current sculptures are related to the theme of journeys, and the objects encountered on them, or those found at the 'exact point of turning' on a journey to retrace one's steps. The 'Scandinavian Saga' series explores this theme.
Drawing and painting are all related to these activities - drawing to record and understand what he sees and has sparked some kind of visual and mental interest in the subject, and painting to take these ideas further along with the process of engaging with the elements of line, shape, tone, texture, form, and then colour.
Artist's Location: Macclesfield, Cheshire.
