In addition to clay, he works with textiles, printmaking, and photography. He has exhibited nationally and internationally, been featured in Studio Potter and Ceramics Monthly. Errol has taught workshops and been a visiting artist at numerous universities and art centers such as Arrowmont School of Arts and Crafts and has been the Clay Coordinator for the Spring Session of Pentaculum since 2020.
