Today Seymour makes domestic ware either on the wheel or by jigger and jollie as well as sculptural pieces from small to very large pieces. He now fires in a twenty three cu. ft. gas kiln.
When you drive through Gladstone Road, which is the main street in Gisborne, Seymour's work is permanently on show in the form of two large sculptural pieces which depict the area and the different cultures of Gisborne.
Each piece weighs half a tonne and is in four pieces. Seymour needed the help of three friends to get each piece into the kiln and later to transport it and install it in the main street. They are very impressive.
Seymour has been teaching for five years at the Gisborne polytechnic, teach special need students. He is currently president of the Gisborne Pottery Group.
Seymour has developed a small top loading raku kiln from galvanised sheet and two inch ceramic fibre. It measures 350 x 350 x 350 mm internal and 400 x 400 x 400 mm external. |
