Welch was one of a small group of significant potters who expanded the language of throwing (or shaping) pots on the wheel, in his case through post-wheel additions and alteration. This gave his generally cylindrical forms a more organic and sculptural aspect, but their heavily coloured and textured surfaces were as much about painting, too, as Robin sought an integration of the visual disciplines he enjoyed.
He was a consummate thrower, but his mature pots had an expressive freedom and spontaneity that moved them beyond traditional function, where his creative roots certainly lay.
