He has spent many years studying and working out recipes for the ancient glazes to which he added his own intuition to increase their depth and beauty, achieving layers of colour within colour; He has developed a unique range of Reduction fired  Flambe’, Chun, Jun, Wood Ash, Copper Red,  Lang-Yao, Shino and Iron glazes, produced in high fired stoneware. The work produced is mainly vases, bowls and platters. No toxic materials are used in these ceramics, they are therefore maker, user, and environmentally friendly.
