Current Work

Wheel-thrown decorative domestic slipware, made from earthenware. I make ranges of patterns and colours that relate to one another, so that customers can pick from them to build a set that is unique to them. I use repeating patterns using motifs such as hoops, circles etc which are mainly
inspired by textiles such as vintage clothes and soft furnishings.
