I make wheel-thrown decorative and functional stoneware ceramics. My forms are pared-back and elegant, seeking stillness and balance.  I use a variety of clays and glazes to create subtle variations in my colour palette, which is influenced by natural materials and the landscape.  I am drawn to wide open spaces, the sea and sky, sand and pebbles, and these I’m sure, seep into my work.

The subtle tones and compositions in the paintings of Giorgio Morandi are an added source of inspiration.

I graduated in Ceramic Design from Staffordshire University in the 1990’s and (after a varied career) I found my way back to working with clay in 2016. I feel content to be doing at last, what has always been in my heart.
