About

My work explores making thrown forms in Porcelain. My aim is that my pots have a function as vessels but also as (I hope) visually  pleasing tactile forms.

I use porcelain clay for its purity, whiteness, strength and translucency. I throw the porcelain as thinly as possible and then turn the pot on an electric wheel. Surface decoration that is integral to the form is my aim.

Colour is an experiment with matt and shiny fluid glazes. The unpredictable fusion of clay and glaze keeps my passion for making alive.

I studied 3D Design: Ceramics at Bath Academy of Art in 1980. I work from my studio at home in Chichester, West Sussex.  The coast and landscape are great influences on my work.
