Sad news of our past President Peter Moss.

We have received a message that Peter has died. He will be greatly missed by all who knew him. Our heartfelt condolences go to his family and friends at this sad time.

Phil Bowman, our previous Chair has written a touching tribute…


Today we heard the sad news of the death of Pete Moss. The Lincolnshire Artists’ Society has lost a true giant. Pete’s intricately glazed ceramics can be found well beyond the boundaries of this county and indeed this country. His skill as an artist craftsman was held in such high regard.

Operating with only one lung and a visage that had been modified many times from too many rugby scrums, Peter was an imposing figure. His bluff, irreverent cheekiness belied a caring generosity of spirit as many a former student could testify.

His passion for the arts extended beyond his studio to pass on skills to the next generation, sit in countless meetings and mentor so many people over the years that his contribution to the arts will be sorely missed.

Special thanks and thought to his wife Jan for her devotion and care of our dear friend.

Phil Bowman.
