I’m Paul Devon Young.

this website is a platform to host..Mineralscape 2015 on going ,the recent works are all to do with minerals found Devon landscape and the collaboration I have been participating in. It is evident that not just beneath the soils or in the sea, all the pigments extracted create a geological map of Devon's pigmentation in all minerals.

My specialty are clay's, processing and making clay's for large freestanding kilns…

I make all my clays using a method i call .. this is taking the traditional Cob mix and altering adding ratios so the main component straw is replaced with fern bracken as this binds better to the clays needed for my kind of works…

I have been a ceramicist/ sculptor working in and inspired by Devon's landscape. All materials I gather from the environment processing—clays, pigments ,Sands, even kilns are made from my own blend called Cobology. My sculptures reflect the beauty and rawness of the natural world, combining traditional techniques with an experimental spirit. Also I draw inspiration from the tin mining kilns that once flourished leaving behind tall elegant memoire sculptures..
