Walter Awlson is known throughout Britain for his figurative ceramic sculptures. His interest in figure drawing stems from secondary school days at Galashiels Academy and was later developed at Edinburgh College of Art. His technical ability in drawing forms the basis of his work, and Walter is now producing stunning figurative paintings as well as the sculpture for which he is acclaimed. Since graduating, he has taught in secondary schools and further education, and now works full-time as an artist from his studio in Alloa.
