Biography: Tony Carter

After obtaining his degree from Bath Academy of Art, and subsequent ATD from the University of London, Tony Carter with his wife Anita set up their pottery in Debenham, Suffolk (1978).

Tony's inspiration comes from constant observation of life backed by a thorough understanding of the design of pottery. Many of his teapots have an almost timeless appeal which frequently remind people of past pleasures and forgotten objects of yesterday.

The Carters have been making their unique ceramics for over 20 years and have a son called Sam (born 1983). They live in a beautiful old cottage, also in the village of Debenham (built approx. 1500).

When not working Tony's great pleasure is to go sailing with family and friends, (this interest is often seen in the pottery's nautical range).

Tony is always pleased to hear from you and is quite delighted when his teapots find 'good homes' throughout the world.
