Artist's Statement

Current Work

Recently I have been developing a new body of work in which I have been trying to capture the spontaneity & energy of a line drawing by drawing and carving directly into the clay.

Technical Information

I build each piece using slabs of Ashraf Hanna clay - a professional clay body made by Scarva. The decoration is achieved by using slips, oxides and terra sigillata. Raku and sagger firings.
