Current Work

Tactile woodfired stoneware pots. I am inspired by the energy of playing with mud and fire, and a desire to create pots that make people want to hold them. I throw in my workshop in North-East London before taking the pots down to my anagama-based kiln in Surrey. Here they are fired with wood to 1340C over 24 hours. Please see my website for more information.

Work generally available from:
Rufford Craft Centre, Rufford Country Park, Notts.
Lund Gallery, Alne Road, Easingwold North Yorkshire. www.lundgallery.co.uk.
Cerijan, 14 High West Street, Dorchester, DT1 1UW.
Also from Ceramics fairs or directly from me at the workshop. Please contact me or see website for details.
