Artists Statement
I am making pots that are mostly functional, but the main objective is to get across a feeling that I've got inside me. It's like a strange, nervous energy mixed with a real joy for the unexpected. I do things with my pots that will help me to achieve something that is a mystery even to myself. When the pots are out of the kiln, the results are digested over a few days or weeks and then a session of smashing begins. Many pots are fired three or four times before they break into an aesthetic that I am happy with. Only the best survive and these are shown at the workshops. If you see a strange word on the bottom of my pot, it is because I have started a project that will not finish for some time, if I ever live long enough to finish at all. I am writing every word in the dictionary on the bottom of my pots. Without discretion, I will be going from A right through to Z. Current Work and AvailabilityLarge range of firing and glaze treatments with porcelain. Technical InformationSome of my pots are wood fired in Jeremy Stewards kiln. Others are salted in a reduced gas firing. Others are oxidised in a different small gas kiln. Many are put through a salted reduction wood firing and then a further oxidised earthenware firing. Many glazes and oxides are used, usually in combination. Career Background
I was apprenticed for two and a half years by Jeremy Sharp, making standard wares for the garden, kitchen and table. I then went to UWIC (Cardiff) University and got a First, making mostly experimental sculpture and installation. I am now working at Wobage Workshops making my own kind of pottery.
