‘We hope that you enjoy our work as much as we have enjoyed creating it.’
Russell Akerman
Malcolm Akerman
Sadly Malcolm Akerman passed away on the 5th of May 2019.
Malcolm was an outstanding, self taught, ceramic artist and his pottery making was inspired by a love for all things Art Deco. Malcolm created many outstanding Echo of Deco designs, including the Cotton Club big band musician ornaments and dancer figurines, all of which have a joyful vibrancy, as do his Brooklands racing car ornaments that captured the feeling of speed so well.
Russell Akerman is continuing the running of the pottery.
