0:15:10 > 0:15:16- ..not only to earn a living - but to create masterpieces too.
0:15:23 > 0:15:33- I was a very shy child when I was - raised in the Rhondda Valleys.
0:15:36 > 0:15:38- I felt safe with a horse...
0:15:39 > 0:15:46- ..and I'd visit the horse - that lived behind by home.
0:15:47 > 0:15:52- I also did some horse riding - when I was a child.
0:15:52 > 0:16:00- As I got older, I studied ceramics - at college in Cardiff...

0:16:06 > 0:16:11- Whilst in London, the shy student - from the Rhondda learnt Welsh...
0:16:11 > 0:16:19- ..and discovered collections from - China at the British Museum and V&A.
0:16:19 > 0:16:26- My interest lies in the Tang Dynasty - and how they built horses...
0:16:26 > 0:16:30- ..and learnt about the symbolism - of the horse.
0:16:30 > 0:16:37- I did some research on the - Tang Dynasty at the British Museum.
0:16:43 > 0:16:51- It's very interesting as he studied - the early history of clay horses.
0:16:51 > 0:16:58- We've followed the process of making - the horses from start to finish.
0:16:58 > 0:17:05- It's strong, full of emotions - such as sorrow and strength.
0:17:05 > 0:17:07- It's simply amazing!
0:17:07 > 0:17:10- Amazing and full of emotion.
0:17:10 > 0:17:17- Gareth's very own essence - is evident in some of his pieces.
0:17:17 > 0:17:25- His hard work is also evident as - it's far from easy to make a horse!
0:17:25 > 0:17:33- I use a frame because clay is heavy - and wet and can't support itself.
0:17:33 > 0:17:41- When the clay dries, I remove the - wooden frame and carve the details.
0:17:41 > 0:17:45- This is done prior to the piece - going into the kiln.
0:17:46 > 0:17:51- Nantgarw and other centres have - benefited from Gareth's hard work.

0:18:01 > 0:18:04- Gareth is quite pioneering.
0:18:04 > 0:18:08- There's plenty of examples - of small animals...
0:18:08 > 0:18:16- ..but the size and colour - of these pieces is truly pioneering.
0:18:16 > 0:18:22- I thoroughly enjoy my work - at the Nantgarw Pottery.
0:18:22 > 0:18:31- When I'm in London, I can't converse - with anyone and practice my Welsh...
0:18:31 > 0:18:39- ..so I can practice my Welsh - with my co-worker, Gwen Griffiths.
0:18:39 > 0:18:45- I hope to return to Wales - to do more work in the pottery.
0:18:46 > 0:18:48- I'm very excited.
