“There is an immediate warmth and strength to Jeremy's pots; a generosity born from an understanding of the mutuality of form and function. But his work bears close inspection: surfaces are complex with freehand marks as well as imprints from various tools; colours shift and run into abstract patterns and yet the whole blends harmoniously. His pottery is tactile; it asks to be picked up and to be used. Jeremy Steward is by his own admission, “damned fussy”, and we can all be mightily pleased that he is. For it’s his attention to detail, his quest for refinement, his evergreen enthusiasm for and knowledge of his craft that produces the robust and striking pottery that is a joy to behold and a delight to use.” -- J.P.Kavanagh
