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:

Art Workers' Guild: My first exhibition of 2026 will be 20 to 22 March at the LP40 Ceramics Fair in the Art Workers' Guild, Queen Square, London, WC1N 3AT. That is Friday, Saturday and Sunday, from 11:am to 5:00pm. I'm participating with London Potters; it's a special 40th anniversary event for them.

In Gallery 1 you can see a selection of my shino potttery with more examples in Gallery 2. I shall be exhibiting pots like these at the Art Workers' Guild.

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.
