He was first influenced by such names as Harry Davis, Bernard Leach and Shoji Hamada but rather than producing one-off pieces for display, he focused on producing handmade, usable tableware. In 1974 he co-founded Highland Stoneware in Lochinver, Scotland, and in 1991 founded Grahame Clarke Porcelain, in Norfolk.Grahame graduated from the Royal College of Art in 1962. As a student he assisted Harry Davis at his studios in Cornwall, and after graduation went to Stoke-on-Trent, working for Price and Kensington and Royal Doulton. He also travelled to Denmark to work for Bing and Grøndahl.Later he joined the Royal College as a senior lecturer in glass and ceramics, and worked there for over 20 years. In the ceramics department he worked alongside the artist Eduardo Paolozzi and the pottery designer David Douglas, Marquess of Queensberry. Grahame Clarke’s porcelain combined the durable porcelain body, modelled on 17th-century Chinese pottery, with a free hand-painted style inspired by the Delftware and Lowestoft blue-and-white decorations of the 16th and 17th centuries. He sold work under his own name, as well as producing contemporary design commissions for Heal’s, for the interior designer Jane Churchill and for the tableware retailer Thomas Goode.
