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 I taught 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 exhibition:
Michael Sobell House, Northwood: On Saturday 13 December, I shall be joining other stallholders at the Michael Sobell House Winter Market (Gate 3, Mount Vernon Hospital, Northwood, HA6 2RN). The exhibition will be open 10am to 3pm and it will raise funds for the hospice. There will be free parking and seasonal food & refreshment. Entry £3.
In Gallery 1 you can see some of the pots, which I shall be exhibiting at the Michael Sobell House, and there is a selection of my blue pots in Gallery 2.
