I have been passionate about Ceramics for as long as I can remember. My work is mainly wheel thrown grogged stoneware. I produce one off functional items, combining the wheel […]

I use sprig moulds from the bark of London plane trees and use them to explore hidden patterns in nature using a variety of clays at earthenware temperature.

My work is really about opposites – matt and shiny, black and white, the smooth whiteness of porcelain and the earthy texture of grogged stoneware clays. I throw simple cylindrical […]

I came to pottery after a career in the theatre and education. I throw, hand build and cast from my own moulds, decorating with coloured slips I make myself. I […]

I call my current work ‘mantel vases’ as they are often oval or flattened to fit comfortably on a mantelpiece. They can be used for flowers if preferred and I […]

My work involves altering thrown forms, and then adding interesting effects – particulalry unusual handles for jugs

Slip cast, Parian boxes. I’m inspired by my walks on the park. I use abstract marking in black with a small addition of bright colour.

A series of vessels exploring the nature of porcelain, pushing it up to and beyond its limits. Hand thrown on a wheel, fired in a single firing without glaze and […]

Creating simple vessels in Porcelain, glazed in subtle colours is the focus of my work. Each piece is thrown then turned when leather-hard to refine the form. I make my […]

My pots are made with porcelain clay, and hand-thrown. The form is mainly bowls, but also jugs, vases and other table-ware. I like to decorate using slips, under-glaze colours and […]

I work intuitively sculpting figures from my unconscious. I have studied psychology in parallel to my ceramic practice. I see the figures as manifesting parts of my personality. A tribe […]

I wheel throw and carve vessels in stoneware clay. I use a limited palette of surface decoration and glazing to minimise distraction from form. My work is both functional and […]

Wheel thrown, stoneware, oven to table kitchenware. My conventional pieces are given a unique appearance in my use of glazes, which are layered randomly. My aim is to produce pieces […]

I work mainly in stoneware, both thrown and handbuilt, and I am fascinated by surface decoration techniques. This shows in all my work whether inspired by nature or the chance […]

My pieces are saggar fired hand built stoneware. Inspired by rock formations and tree bark I am experimenting with the combination of texture and smooth burnished area. This contrast creates […]

I make functional stoneware pieces, often in black and iron-rich clays. Most vessels are thrown on the wheel with some vases and boxes made using kurinuki. I keep forms simple […]

I use carving and press mould technique to create my forms. A smooth shiny surface is achieved by burnishing. For textured surfaces, I use thick slip with the addition of […]

Inspired by the detailed surfaces of microscopic marine life, I create intricately textured, hand-built ceramics to reimagine these natural structures in clay. By combining a variety of techniques, from slip […]
