After a two year apprenticeship at the Leach Pottery Batterham set up his own pottery in 1959 and worked independently for over 60 years, cultivating an instantly recognisable family of forms. His work is revered & collected all over the world and in the V&A Collection.
“The main work is not to make pots, but to allow them to come, to allow them to grow, to allow them to be alive, and to communicate warmth and life in that uncannily direct and undemanding way that true and naked work can, vulnerable as it is. To make this possible, I feel that it is necessary to use our skills and materials with humility and respect. This requires a certain quietness of living.”
