IAN RYLATT

​​Ceramicist / Gweithiwr Ceramig

I believe my pieces should speak for themselves and exist in their own right, and not be viewed through the spectacles I could create by talking about them. What motivates and inspires me is the quality that some art has to inspire the individual. My work since college has largely centred around the teapot. Originally I was inspired to make individual pieces like teapots, jugs, beakers, bowls and vases, which I still do. Over the years the tea/coffeepot has become less the centre of attention as other elements were drawn naturally into the equation (e.g. teapot to tea set). In recent years I have been particularly interested in the visual relationship of pieces within a set, be it through form, colour, theme, juxtaposition, connection or ritual.

My work ranges from individual beakers, through tea/coffee pots and whole sets, to more complex pieces.


Credaf y dylai fy narnau siarad drostynt eu hunain ac maent yn bodoli yn eu rhinwedd eu hunain, ac ni ddylid eu gweld drwy’r esboniad yr wyf yn eu rhoi wrth siarad am y darnau. Yr hyn sy’n fy ysgogi a’m hysbrydoli yw’r ansawdd y mae’n rhaid i rai celf fod i ysbrydoli unigolyn. Mae fy ngwaith ers i mi fod yn y coleg wedi canolbwyntio i raddau helaeth ar y tebot. Yn wreiddiol cefais fy ysbrydoli i wneud darnau unigol fel tebotau, jygiau, biceri, bowlenni a fasau, rwyf yn dal i greu’r rhain hyd heddiw. Dros y blynyddoedd mae’r tebot / pot coffi wedi dod yn llai o sylw gan fod elfennau eraill wedi’u tynnu’n naturiol mewn i’r casgliad (e.e. tebot i set de.) Yn y blynyddoedd diwethaf, mae gennyf ddiddordeb arbennig yn y berthynas weledol o ddarnau o fewn set, boed hynny yn ffurf, lliw, thema, cyfosodiad, cysylltiad neu ddefod.

Mae fy ngwaith yn amrywio o ficeri unigol, i botiau te / coffi a setiau cyfan, i ddarnau mwy cymhleth.
