Born in Portsmouth, Tim Fluck initially studied Fine Art at Oxford Brookes with a specialism in Photography. After several years working as a freelance photographer, he gained his teaching qualification at Goldsmiths University, and spent 12 years teaching Art and Photography at inner London schools.
Whilst teaching art he discovered a love of ceramics, and eventually left teaching art and began focusing on his own practice and teaching pottery at private studios. In 2023 he completed an MA in Ceramics from UCA, and began to make his mark as an emerging contemporary ceramic artist.
Recognised for his unique approach to ceramics he was selected as one of the BCB’s Fresh Talent Award winners, which included a residency at Staffordshire University. He featured on the cover of ‘The Emerging Potters’ magazine, with an article about his experience exhibiting at Ceramic Art London for the first time. This first appearance exhibiting at CAL saw his work used on adverts on the London Underground, website, exhibition flyers and the exhibition catalogue.
Following CAL he has featured in a Korean Ceramics Magazine and lectured at Arts University Plymouth, and most recently exhibited at Collect 25. Now represented by Contemporary Applied Arts, he continues to explore and experiment, most recently creating stacked totem forms which explore the pleasure found in the visceral experience of object and form.
