We’re delighted to introduce you to Andrew Bull and his wonderful World of quirky miniature sculptures. Andrew has been in business for over 36 years. His work is based around small figures and animals depicting the lighter side of life. Each piece is handmade in porcelain, being fired three times, firstly in a bisque, a glaze and finally a lustre firing.
Originally inspired by Heath Robinson cartoons Triple Decker Bus and Two Wheel Car , the figures have now evolved into their current form.

I`ve been interested in pottery from an early age (9), after deciding this was for me I attended (a bit later) a two year art foundation course in Grimsby followed by three years at Medway college of art and design in Rochester. Although trained in the tradition of throwing in the Japanese/ Korean styles it was here that I found the love of making small figures, influenced initially by Heath Robinson. I`m glad to say I`ve been potting ever since.
Observation.
Not a lot.

Keep going.
