How would you describe the work you do and why?: 

Mocha ware is a sub-category of slipware, where you use a mixture called mocha, which traditionally was made from boiling chewing tobacco and placing on slip to create tree like spindles which cascade down the slip.
For me as an artist, I really enjoy exploring new ideas, new forms and a practical process that collate with the use of slipware.

Describe what you call yourself/your practice?: 

I'm a slipware potter predominately using mocha ware and coloured slips
