Various forms of living and natural matter inspire Tom Butcher's sculptural work. The forms he creates represent an abstracted interpretation of research into organic growth and forms: from the architecture of insects to gneiss rock found on the North West Coast of Scotland. Tom employs several innovative processes to produce pieces of varying proportion and fragility, in an effort to push the boundaries of traditional ceramic making techniques.

Tom's studio is on the shores of Loch Long, Scotland, overlooking the Arrochar Alps and surrounded by the inspirational scenery of the Loch Lomond and the Trossachs National Park.
