Path and Inspiration
I graduated with a degree in Graphic Design and Illustration in 1994. After working as a Designer/Art Director and Creative Head in Central London for 25 years, I was forced to rethink my career path in 2019 - later that year I rekindled my love of clay! A local pottery class was the beginning of my pottery adventure. Now with my own equipment I am able to explore the possibilities of colour, pattern and texture on clay pieces that are both functional and decorative.Process and Practice
The summer of 2022 saw my garden studio take shape and I have since been enjoying the space which is big enough for a sizeable kiln, potters wheel and some very sturdy work benches. Work to date has been hand-built, thrown and carved stoneware - which has either been glazed, hand-painted with underglazes, or decorated with slip. I've also slipcast some porcelain tea bowls from my own complex mould - this is something I wish to do more of in 2025...
