Scottish artist Walter Awlson was born in Galashiels in 1949. He studied at Edinburgh College of Art from 1967 to 1971, where he graduated with a degree in Furniture Design. He completed a teaching postgraduate at Moray House. This led to a teaching career in secondary schools and further education establishments. This is where he taught, developed and assessed courses in Art and Design. In 1991 Walter resigned from teaching to focus on figurative painting and sculpture, and in particular slip cast figurative sculpture. The figures, varying from a few inches in height to life size, were glazed using raku fired glazes or stoneware bronze-like glazes.
For twenty years, Walter exhibited extensively in galleries throughout the UK. His artworks can be found in many private and public collections.
