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:
Knowl Hill Village Hall, Knowl: I shall be exhibiting with West Forest Potters over the early May bank holiday, Saturday 3 to Monday 5 May, at Knowl Hill Village Hall, which is on the north side of the Bath Road/A4 in Knowl. Its address is The Terrace, Knoll, RG10 9XB. The exhibition will be open 10am to 5pm daily, and it will be one of the venues on the Henley Arts Trail.
A selection of the blue pots, which will be displayed at Knowl Hill Village Hall, can be seen in Gallery 1 and there are more in Gallery 2.
