In 1981 in an Australian outback mining town Ken made his first mug -  and was hooked.   
From Lego and Meccano as a child to his trade as a carpenter & joiner and his dedication to quality as a builder, it is inevitable in retirement Ken Ison continues to create.  
His trade background epitomizes the quality of the unique sculptured and wheel-thrown works he produces in clay. 
Today his pottery lives in homes Australia wide and across the world. A production potter, Ken's creations are unique pieces of high quality. He works to an exacting standard reinventing items in daily use and surprising us with his unique designs.

                Living with a potter about to cook meat on bar-b-que.
 Potter.        ‘Is it ready?’
Potty wife.    ‘Yeah.'
Potter.        ‘How long?’
Potty wife.    ‘3 minutes each side.’
Potter.        ‘And then time for a soak?’
Potty wife.    ‘What?’
Potter.        ‘A soak. How long do we soak it for?’
Potty wife.    ‘You’re not firing a bloody pot!’
Potter.        ‘What do you call it after you cook it?’
Potty wife.    ‘Rest?’
Potter.        ‘Yeah rest. How long?’
