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 exhibitions:

Iver Recreation Ground, Bucks: I shall be exhibiting with Hillingdon Artists on Saturday 19 July at The Ivers Village Fete. Iver Recreation Ground is off Iver High Street (SL0 9PW), and the fete will be open between 11am and 4pm.

Kingsbury Barn, St Albans: I shall be exhibiting in Kingsbury Barn (Branch Road, AL3 4SE) with the Dacorum & Chiltern Potters Guild. The venue is a restored medieval barn, and the exhibition will be open from 10am to 4pm over the three days: Friday 12, Saturday 13 and Sunday 14 September 2025.

A selection of the blue pots likely to be displayed at the Ivers Village Fete and Kingsbury Barn, can be seen in Gallery 1 and there are more in Gallery 2.
