Andy Titcomb attended Exeter College of Art from 1974 - 1977 studying Fine Art Ceramics. In 1978 he was the first person employed by Paul Cardew in his first business Sunshine Ceramics.
After a few years making and decorating all manner of odd shaped ashtrays, punk mugs and Nat West piggy banks, he left to concentrate on his own work

In 1980 Andy Titcomb made a range of brooches which were selected by the Design Centre. By 1983 with a converted pigsty as a workshop, he had made his first teapot...a black and white harlequin. Encouraged by The Teahouse in Covent Garden London Andy began to make more teapots.....and the bug bit!

In the mid 80's Andy moved to larger premises in Devon and began exporting to France, Germany, Italy and Japan as well as supplying many shops in the UK with a wide range of unusual teapots.
In 1990 Andy moved to North Cornwall in order to combine home and workplace and escape the rat race of Devon! In 1994 he was honoured to be presented to Prince Charles as part of Cornwall's "In Pursuit of Excellence" scheme. Andy Titcomb continues to make teapots and salt and pepper pots but plans to expand his work into more sculptural areas in the future.
