What\u2019s your day-to-day \u2018uniform\u2019?<br><\/strong>At home it\u2019s a printed T-shirt and trousers from Cos, Adidas trainers and a beanie from B\u00e9ton Cir\u00e9 x Junya Watanabe. At work, it\u2019s much the same. I like to be able to dress the same whether I\u2019m at work, in the studio or at the park with my daughter. I\u2019m wearing Paul Marsden jeans, Nike x Undercover trainers, Helmut Lang glasses and my fluffy cap is a Columbia\/End collab. One of my friends from Salford went on to work for <a href=\"https:\/\/roksanda.com\/\">Roksanda<\/a> in London and last year they did a collab with George at Asda to celebrate London Fashion Week&#8217;s 40th anniversary. I bought a hoodie from the collection \u2013 in XXL because it was womenswear, but you could camp in it! It\u2019s huge, but I wear it a lot.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>How did your time at St Martins influence your look?<br><\/strong>Fashion students tend to fall into two camps. There are those who are super flamboyant and those of us who are more understated \u2013 like, it&#8217;s not about me, it&#8217;s about the products. For us, it wasn\u2019t about standing out personally, it was about letting the work speak for itself. I\u2019m a bit torn between those two worlds. I like an element of quirk \u2013 an interesting cut or a detail that\u2019s slightly unexpected \u2013 but it\u2019s never overtly eccentric. It\u2019s more in the vein of <a href=\"https:\/\/www.maisonmargiela.com\/en-gb\/\">Martin Margiela<\/a>, who was an icon for my generation. His work had these little moments of humour, details that people outside of fashion might not pick up on.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>What\u2019s your earliest fashion memory?<br><\/strong>Growing up as a little gay boy, there were plenty of things I wasn\u2019t allowed to have! But I remember buying a pair of Calvin Klein trousers from TK Maxx and loving them. I wore them for about two years before I realised they were pyjama bottoms.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"480\" height=\"600\" src=\"https:\/\/www.field-grey.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/02\/Home-3-2-480x600.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-14805\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.field-grey.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/02\/Home-3-2-480x600.jpg 480w, https:\/\/www.field-grey.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/02\/Home-3-2-320x400.jpg 320w, https:\/\/www.field-grey.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/02\/Home-3-2.jpg 700w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 480px) 100vw, 480px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>What was it like studying at St Martins?<br><\/strong>For my interview, I turned up with a roll of duct tape and said, \u201cI want to print duct tape\u201d. I ended up creating all these prints that emulated it, layered over more traditional fashion prints. I\u2019m obsessed with colour now, but back then I wanted to be <a href=\"https:\/\/www.helmutlang.com\/\">Helmut Lang<\/a> \u2013 stark, Germanic, minimal. St Martins was all about throwing ideas at the wall and seeing what stuck. You couldn\u2019t be phased by getting things wrong because that\u2019s where the learning happened. It was an amazing time. We spent every day experimenting and playing, but there was this sharp contrast between that creative freedom and the intense industry-focused professionalism we were expected to have as well.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Did you pursue fashion work after college?<br><\/strong>I did some freelance work but almost immediately, I started teaching women\u2019s wear at <a href=\"https:\/\/www.arts.ac.uk\/colleges\/london-college-of-fashion\">London College of Fashion<\/a>. My parents were both teachers and always told me, \u201cDo whatever you want, just don\u2019t go into teaching\u201d But it felt natural to me. At school and uni, I was always told I had too many ideas, but in teaching it\u2019s an asset. I\u2019m constantly managing 180 different concepts, guiding students to develop their own creative paths. I love that they get to do things I physically couldn\u2019t \u2013 it\u2019s a way of exploring multiple ideas through them.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"480\" height=\"600\" src=\"https:\/\/www.field-grey.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/02\/Uni-1b-1-480x600.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-14806\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.field-grey.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/02\/Uni-1b-1-480x600.jpg 480w, https:\/\/www.field-grey.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/02\/Uni-1b-1-320x400.jpg 320w, https:\/\/www.field-grey.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/02\/Uni-1b-1.jpg 700w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 480px) 100vw, 480px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>How did you get into ceramics?<br><\/strong>I almost studied ceramics, but a potter friend of my mum\u2019s told me I\u2019d never make money from it. So I went into textiles \u2013 not exactly a lucrative alternative! When we moved to Peckham in 2017, I took a ceramics course and it all came flooding back. Having a background in textiles gave me a sense of experimentation and play, so I found my technique quite quickly. I call it &#8216;action casting&#8217; because I\u2019ve always been fascinated by the abstract expressionists, especially <a href=\"https:\/\/www.tate.org.uk\/art\/art-terms\/a\/action-painters\">Jackson Pollock\u2019s action painting<\/a>. For me, it\u2019s the same idea \u2013 working with chance and spontaneity, exploring the point where we lose control and the process takes over.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Is fashion or ceramics your main passion?<br><\/strong>They\u2019re connected. The ceramics started as a way to reconnect with making, but a friend encouraged me to take it seriously. I&#8217;m not a potter. I create vessels, but really, they\u2019re more like an extension of my textile practice driven by my obsession with colour. While the vessels change, it\u2019s the surface people really respond to. I\u2019ve had some wonderful opportunities through ceramics. The <a href=\"https:\/\/www.barbican.org.uk\/\">Barbican<\/a> asked me to create work for their shop during the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.londonsartseen.com\/blog\/2019\/6\/19\/lee-krasner-the-hidden-jewel-of-abstract-expressionism\">Lee Krasner exhibition<\/a> \u2013 a full-circle moment since Krasner was Pollock\u2019s wife, and he\u2019s a huge influence on my work. I\u2019ve also had pieces in Heal\u2019s, the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.southbankcentre.co.uk\/venues\/hayward-gallery\">Hayward Gallery<\/a> and the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.pitzhanger.org.uk\/\">Pitzhanger Manor <\/a>when it reopened.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"600\" height=\"397\" src=\"https:\/\/www.field-grey.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/02\/TestphotosLowres-4-600x397.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-14807\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.field-grey.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/02\/TestphotosLowres-4-600x397.jpg 600w, https:\/\/www.field-grey.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/02\/TestphotosLowres-4-400x265.jpg 400w, https:\/\/www.field-grey.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/02\/TestphotosLowres-4.jpg 700w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 600px) 100vw, 600px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Image credit: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.jdpceramics.com\">https:\/\/www.jdpceramics.com<\/a><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>What challenges do today\u2019s fashion students face compared to when you were studying?<br><\/strong>They have the internet. And students take things for granted that we never did. I love teaching about concept, narrative and storytelling, but we have to teach those things differently now. You can\u2019t just Google words and use the first images that pop up. That\u2019s lazy. I try to get students excited about discovering things that others won\u2019t find, rather than looking for things they think everyone will like. A lot of education is about teaching students how to be good humans. It\u2019s about giving them a creative process they can apply beyond fashion.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Where does sustainability fit in? It\u2019s obviously a huge issue in fashion.<br><\/strong>It is, but it\u2019s changed. Ten years ago, we had to teach sustainability. Now, students arrive with it ingrained in their thinking. The same goes for issues like gender diversity and body image. We barely need to introduce those topics. Students aren\u2019t afraid to talk about anything. One of the first things I tell them is: don\u2019t make anything ugly. If something\u2019s beautiful, people will want to keep it, and then we can talk about making it ethical.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>At <\/strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.field-grey.com\/\"><strong>Field Grey<\/strong><\/a><strong>, we talk about sustainability in terms of wears \u2013 it\u2019s about longevity.<br><\/strong>Exactly. We\u2019ve done projects like that, like working with <a href=\"https:\/\/www.patagonia.com\/home\/\">Patagonia<\/a>, which is very much in that world. But the biggest shift in sustainability now is transparency \u2013 it\u2019s about helping the end user understand the process.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"600\" height=\"480\" src=\"https:\/\/www.field-grey.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/02\/Uni-3-600x480.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-14802\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.field-grey.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/02\/Uni-3-600x480.jpg 600w, https:\/\/www.field-grey.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/02\/Uni-3-400x320.jpg 400w, https:\/\/www.field-grey.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/02\/Uni-3.jpg 700w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 600px) 100vw, 600px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-text-color has-black-color has-alpha-channel-opacity has-black-background-color has-background\"\/>\n\n\n\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/jdpceramics.com\/\">jdpceramics.com<br><\/a><a href=\"https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/jdpceramics\/\">https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/jdpceramics\/<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Photography: Matt Bramford<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>With a background in fashion and a passion for ceramics, James Pegg has built a career that bridges textiles, colour and craftsmanship.
