He trained to be a teacher at the University of Western Ontario, and qualified Bachelor of Education some time around 1970. Influenced by Phil Aziz of London, Ontario, he decided on the life of an artist, and immersed himself in the lively art scene in Banff, Alberta and studied pottery under Michael Casson in England. Clennell married and moved to Beamsville, Ontario, where he and Sheila founded the Sour Cherry Pottery. They later moved to Hamilton, Ontario. He spends much of his time taking master classes in art pottery and has studied for an MFA at Utah State University. Publications References 1950s births Living people Canadian potters
