Peter van Ketwich has continuously created with clay since his training and throws some of the largest platters and forms amongst potters.

Living in the outer suburbs of Melbourne surrounded by dense ferny bushland, the colors, lines and textures inspire the surface finishes and brushwork. In his studio, Peter makes sculptural, functional and semi functional ware.
Selling ceramics at artisan markets, Ceramics Fairs and by commission to individuals and garden centres has not always been a solo trip with fellow artist Peter Hook being a road trip collaborator.

Self taught in may skills, Peter is self sufficient and highly skilled in all aspects of ceramics: building and operating ceramic studios and their equipment; glazes, kiln construction and firing, hand building and throwing: welding and construction.

Peter van Ketwich is a renaissance man, a dancer, musician, cook, orator and a natural born teacher.
