Welcome to my website
Here I am in my studio throwing a small mug. Each piece is unique, handmade on a potter’s wheel, painted and glazed with considerable care and fired to 1,265C. The high temperature makes them strong, oven and dishwasher safe.
These pots celebrate the serving and sharing of food. Their decoration reflects my relationship with the natural world, especially the leaves, flowers and insects to be found in our small London garden.
I studied History of Art at the Courtauld Institute and then I taught a history of ceramics course at Croydon College of Art and Design, and it was there that I discovered my own style. Since then I have done extensive research into slips, liquid coloured clays, which can still be seen even under opaque high temperature glazes.
Forthcoming exhibitions:
Kingsbury Barn, St Albans: I shall be exhibiting at Kingsbury Barn over the three days 11-13 September 2026.
During 2025, I exhibited my pottery at markets across seven locations: Knowl Hill, Berks (3-5 May), St Albans (12-14 Sept), Teddington (26 Oct), West Drayton (16 Nov), Ickenham (5 Dec), Harmondsworth (7 Dec) and Northwood (13 Dec). I would expect to be participating at the same locations in 2026, but on slightly different dates, and perhaps with additional events.
In Gallery 1 and Gallery 2 , you can see examples of the pottery that I recently exhibited at Knowl Hill Village Hall.
