Paul Scott is an artist best known for his research into ceramics and print. He creates individual pieces that are exacting and critical, blurring the boundaries between fine art and design

His practice is diverse, so as well as making individual artworks, installations and artefacts for exhibition, he also works to commission, writes, teaches and curates.

Research has always played a key role in all aspects of his work - from investigating the technical methodologies of print transfers to the synthesis of historical form and contemporary artefact embodied in his Cumbrian Blue(s) artworks. As a result, he has ongoing connections with a number of Universities and Ceramic Research Centres around the world. In 2010 was awarded a Doctorate by Manchester Metropolitan University for his MIRIAD funded research project into printed landscape patterns on tableware Ceramics Landscape Remediation and Confection.

He teaches The Vitrified Print workshop/master-class twice each year at the Guldagergaard - International Ceramic Research Centre, Skaelskør, Denmark and Kurszentrum Ballenburg, Switzerland.

Paul’s commissioned work can be found in public places in the North of England, including Carlisle, Maryport, Gateshead and Newcastle Upon Tyne.
In 2010 he designed 30 linear metres of the record breaking Hanoi Mosaic Mural in Vietnam. His ceramic printed objects are in private and public collections around the world including Tullie House Carlisle Museum and Art Gallery, The National Museum Stockholm Sweden, The National Decorative Arts Museum Norway, and the Victoria and Albert Museum London. He is a member of Contemporary Applied Arts, London and the International Academy of Ceramics. Vice Chair of the Artists Information Company he instigated the research which led to the formation of AIR a representative body for artists, and is a member of its council.
