Stephen John Brooking - Sculptor and Teacher (among many other things..) 1956 - 2021

I wanted to start off my blog again by showing you some of Stephens artwork. He very rarely exhibited his ceramics and other work but he was an amazing sculptor as well as an excellent art tutor. He was also a dear, dear man whom I miss every day. As I start my own practice again after a long break, I am using some of his tools and materials. I feel like he is encouraging me and telling me that I can do it, even though he is not physically here to consult or guide me. 

Stephen was also good at making things on the wheel and I have lots of bowls and dishes which I use all the time some of which are pictured also.
