Footnote
Note; James Campbell is an artist of watercolour landscapes and also a potter. He lives near Tenby and was brought up in northern Scotland and western Wales, two landscapes which have proved to be an abiding concern in his work. Introduced in 1957 by Gordon Baldwin to ceramics and the making of art he went on to study at the Royal College of Art. Between 1966 and 1996 he taught variously at Malvern Boys College, Cheltenham College of Art, Hereford College and Middlesex Polytechnic. He returned to Pembrokeshire in 1995, withdrawing from teaching to focus on his own work. His drawings and ceramics have both been widely exhibited, and he has work in several public collections in Britain, Australia and Japan.
