Welcome to my website
Here I am in my studio throwing a small mug. Each piece is unique, handmade on a potter’s wheel, painted and glazed with considerable care and fired to 1,265C. The high temperature makes them strong, oven and dishwasher safe.
These pots celebrate the serving and sharing of food. Their decoration reflects my relationship with the natural world, especially the leaves, flowers and insects to be found in our small London garden.
I studied History of Art at the Courtauld Institute and then taught I a history of ceramics course at Croydon College of Art and Design, and it was there that I discovered my own style. Since then I have done extensive research into slips, liquid coloured clays, which can still be seen even under opaque high temperature glazes.
Forthcoming exhibitions:
Kingsbury Barn, St Albans: I recently exhibited with fellow DCPG members at the Kingsbury Barn, Branch Road, St Albans, AL3 4SE.
Normansfield Theatre, Teddington: Another chance to see my pots. This exhibition will be open from 11am to 4pm on Saturday 19 and Sunday 20 October 2024 at the Normansfield Theatre, Langdon Park Centre, 2a Langdon Park, Teddington, TW11 9PS. The event is in aid of the Downs Syndrome Association.
Pots recently displayed at the Kingsbury Barn can be seen in Gallery 1 and some of those about to be displayed at the Normansfield Theatre can be seen in Gallery 2.
