Artist Biography
Rob Parr has been making with clay for many years. Animal forms have been a significant source of inspiration for him since he was a child. Growing up in Norfolk in the 1970's and receiving a rather alternative early education, Rob spent many hours drawing, painting and making, which was often inspired by the animals both wild and domesticated, that were part of his childhood world.
​
Through observation and employing a variety of hand building techniques, Robs work explores movement & presence of animals and how they relate to the human condition.
​
Rob studied Ceramic design at North Wales School of Art & Design and later at the University of Central Lancashire, Rob has worked extensively in both the Ceramics Industry and Higher Education over the past 20 years.
​
Rob continues to exhibit widely across the UK and his work can be found in collections both in the UK and overseas.
