For as long as I can remember I have had a passion for pots, loving the individual qualities and the imprint of style and energy that each potter leaves on their work.
Ideas for new pieces are conceived during walks along the coastline close to my studio in Cornwall. I either hand build, working with slabs or coils of earthenware clay or create forms by throwing and altering . Each piece emerges slowly and ideas will evolve during the making process.
Evoking the Cornish coast within my ceramics drives me into the studio to explore the shapes, textures, colour and energy of my coastal environment. Making is a meditation for me and while it is wonderfully easy to get lost in the process, I endeavour to recreate these initial feelings of serenity or energy within the finished work, bringing these qualities to the viewer.

I am delighted to have been included in the Byre Gallery’s 10th Birthday celebrations this year and some remaining pots can still be purchased on line or in person from The Byre Gallery which is situated on the beautiful Rame Peninsula in South East Cornwall.
My studio is closed for a short while as re are relocating. News on this to follow! My online shop remains open.
