Biography

Clive Tucker, after years of study and completing two science degrees, he found himself in a less appealing work life than he’d anticipated. Frustrated, he cast his work aside and went to India.

Later in 1993, he landed in Durness, Scotland to apprentice with Lotte Glob at The Far North Pottery. There, he learned the art of throwing and dreamed of becoming an artist. Immigrating to Ontario in 1994, it was not long before he became a self-sufficient potter.

In 1998, restlessness struck once more, and he moved to Vancouver to attend Emily Carr University of Art and Design. Upon graduating, he was invited to be an artist in residence at the Port Moody Art Centre. In 2008, Tucker moved to his own studio in Port Moody. He is committed to creating and continues to expand his ceramic practice.

Artist Statement

Clive believes in a playful, yet poignant approach to art. He is focused on keeping elements of play and whimsy in his work with a light sprinkling of irony.
