Details
I am very interested in shape and form, creating objects that have fluid curves and that are ergonomic and enjoyable to hold and use. Porcelain is an amazing material with great elasticity and my aim is to make it look like it could still be freshly made clay, even though it's a fired ceramic.
For me being an artist or maker has been a way of life. It's one of the ways that I communicate ideas as well as an excuse to explore and be curious without using language as the main driving force.
I am a ceramicist specialising in designing and making wheel-thrown porcelain objects.
I split my time between making my porcelain range and one-off items alongside teaching wheel-throwing workshops. I have been invited to teach at studios and universities in the UK and internationally. I have a studio at home in Hereford where I make my porcelain but also maintain a studio in London where I do the majority of my private teaching with the help of assistant tutors.
