Current Work

After training at the Royal College of Art, Ravensbourne College of Art and North Staffordshire Polytechnic obtaining a Master of Design and BA Honours degrees, we have had our own workshop designing and making ceramics for 20 years.
In our career we have been awarded a major bursary from South East Arts. Our work can also be seen in the Contemporary Ceramics Collection of the Victoria and Albert Museum.
For seven years now we have been developing our Lustreware ideas. Our work is unique. We use expensive precious metals to produce our own colours and fire many times to achieve complex and intricate patterns and textures.
Each piece is original and spectacular, as the reaction of one metal against another cannot be predicted. We work on each piece by hand for many hours. The gold or platinum is intricately applied before the final firing.
The precious metal lustres create all the colour in our work; they are not merely an iridescent surface on a coloured clay or glaze as favoured by other potters.
The continued evolution and development of our design and special effects result in collectable pieces of quality and originality.
