I make functional pots in porcelain and stoneware, thrown and turned on the wheel.

I am most concerned with form and surface texture. I make simple shapes, rounded teapots and bowls, cylindrical bottles and mugs. I use satin matt glazes, which melt or 'break' to gloss on rims and throwing lines, sometimes with tiny matt crystals. I am currently using two glazes, a satin matt white and a smooth matt crystalline blue. The insides of teapots, mugs and bottles are glazed with a shiny clear glaze.

I am also concerned with functionality and detail. All my pots are made to be handled and used. I use porcelain for its strength, density and purity. Some larger pots are made with white stoneware.
