profile

Simon Everington was born in the Gower, U.K. in 1967, the youngest child of the late Harry Everington, artist and teacher.

While working in his father`s workshop, he also studied at the studio of Masamichi Yoshikawa, ceramic artist, in Tokoname, Japan.

In 1990, he moved to Osaka, Japan and established his own workshop, concentrating on ceramic art.

He returned to the U.K. to attend the former Frink School of Figurative Sculpture where he was deeply inspired by the sculptor Alan Thornhill.

Since returning to Osaka, he continues to concentrate on figurative art: ceramic and mixed-media sculpture and paintings.

 Further appreciation to sculptor and fellow Frink student Jon Edgar and also Yozo Ukita, painter and friend.
