Details
I hand build in stoneware clay creating functional and sculptural work for the home and garden. I work predominately with grogged stoneware clays which are beneficial for building larger, three dimensional structures. My work is fired to a high temperature which allows it to happily live outdoors in our climate.
An opportunity to express myself in a three dimensional form. Over the years I have worked with all kinds of media and I have always enjoyed drawing, even from a young age. However working in clay is my preferred practice. I love the tactile quality of working with clay and I particularly enjoy working on a larger scale.
I am a ceramic artist.
I more or less work daily in my studio creating. I run workshops throughout the week for individual people or small groups. Some folks come on a regular basis, some come for one off sessions or to create a specific object. I only demonstrate and teach hand building techniques in stoneware clay, so this is quite different from working on the potter's wheel.
