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.
