Dan produces hand thrown earthenware pieces, which are covered in white and coloured slips and hand drawn transfers screen printed in black enamels. He is inspired by English slipware and 1950s Ridgeware ceramics, particularly the homeware range. He has also been influenced by the Italian designer P. Fornasetti. He produces work that relates to either function of the object or the locality of the area. He likes to combine traditional and modern techniques in a contemporary way. Dan has exhibited nationally and internationally, and at the Royal College of Art.
