Tony Blair - the Artist Rat

Ceramic.

'Rat Runs'
Tony's interest in ceramics was realised in June 2007, when he happened upon some clay and produced his first piece�Fame� (paw prints in clay). In October of the same year he produced 'Scurrying' and 'Bounding', two sets of six tiles which record two very different gaits.
Each set was created making a single and direct journey. 'Saunter' and 'Dawdling' were produced later in the same year

The work was produced from porcelain, which is gently polished after firing. Entertaining as floor tiles, wall art and a table runner.

And later...

After Tony died in 2008, the work with him was suspended of course. But nothing ever finishes, and nowadays I make bespoke tiles for pet owners who want similar tributes for their pets.
