Jonathan Middlemiss is an internationally
acclaimed multidisciplinary artist. He studied fine art at
college and then made his living producing ceramics for over thirty
years. These started as functional pottery but then developed
into individual ceramic sculpture, vessels and
design.
His ceramics are in public
collections and museums in Europe and the Far East
and have been recognized through international
awards. Many exhibitions have been held throughout Britain,
Germany, the U.S.A., France, Holland Belgium, Italy,
Switzerland, the Middle East, Japan, Korea and New
Zealand, and his work has been featured in magazines,
catalogues, dictionaries, and other books.
Recently he has returned to
concentrating on projects to
do with landscape. These have taken the form of land
art, painting, mixed media and
sculpture. Now he is offering courses in wilderness
areas using clay and found materials, drawing, oil
and watercolour as well as words and photography.
'I
grew up on a remote farm in the beautiful
Yorkshire
Dales without going to school until I was twelve,
so I developed a strong imaginary relationship with
the sense of place or energies of a landscape. It
gave me a foundation
for my creative work which I value and see as a
connection similar to that of the indigenous peoples of the
world.
After many
years as a successful and productive artist I now am
planning art and wilderness courses and wilderness
journeys for healing therapy and life coaching using
creativity. I also believe in the importance of
using creativity to celebrate wilderness as an
important conservation measure'
'In
the end we will conserve only what we love and we
will love only what we understand'
