Fireworks Clay Studios

Fireworks Studios was established in the summer of 1995. Six art, ceramics and sculpture graduates, all seeking to join collective forces for inspiration and support, rented a small unit above a car mechanics garage in truly glamorous style ;) Roll forward 15 years and they can give each other a hearty pat on the back. They’ve achieved much.
Artists in the FCSW collective include Dan Allen’s self-​portraiture and figurative work: ‘Recurring symbols act as metaphors and accentuate the figures’ nakedness, and I hope that the viewer sees a real humanness — a sense of spirit and a fragile, often vulnerable strength — in each piece.’ As well as Lowri Davies’ quirkily angular teapots and crocks which deals with aspects of family life and Welsh tradition.
Look out for collective and touring exhibitions.
