SUGRU–ING your ceramics

ude Pullen began his fascination with clay when reconditioning his high school’s dilapidated Ceramics Department during his A-Levels. It took days to clean out sumps, sieve discarded tea-bags and pencils out of old clay, dry it, pug it and reconstitute it – alongside fixing the old potter’s wheel. Safe to say, having to start from scratch gave him a genuine appreciation for the material. Mostly self-taught, Jude kept this interest going while studying Chemistry, which in turn gave him a molecular appreciation for how glazes worked. He subsequently trained in Product Design Engineering, a discipline which encouraged the harmony between science and art.
