On leaving Derby University I pursued my love of pots by assisting wood-firing potters in Devon, whilst setting up my own studio in Stafford.

Influenced by 19^th century Devonshire & 16/17^th century Staffordshire slipware potters I aim for simplicity of form to enhance my style of slipware decoration. The pots are fired using gas or wood.

Incorporating the colours of these periods, the textile jewelling and the diversity created by the wood firing I hope to make my range of pots both a palpable and visual experience.

“Clay, for me, is the only medium that captures, communicates and transfers warmth, body, mood and feelings. Clay expresses its own secrets and I enjoy taking part.”
