How would you describe the work you do and why?
I am a ceramic artist creating functional pieces that bring colour, warmth and individuality into everyday life. Working primarily in stoneware, I design and handcraft forms that are both practical and joyful to use . Mugs that fit comfortably in the hand, bowls made for generous servings, and small domestic objects that quietly elevate daily rituals. Bright, expressive glazes are at the heart of my work. I’m drawn to bold colour, layered finishes and playful surface effects that catch the light and shift with movement. Each glaze combination is carefully developed to create depth and vibrancy, transforming simple forms into pieces that feel alive and distinctive. While my work is decorative, it is always grounded in function. I believe useful objects deserve to be beautiful; that the cup you reach for every morning or the dish that sits by your sink should carry personality and intention. Every piece is individually made, meaning no two are exactly alike, celebrating the subtle variations that come from working by hand. My practice sits at the intersection of craft and everyday living: colourful ceramics designed not just to be admired, but to be used, loved and lived with.
For you what does being an artist mean?:
Being a ceramic artist, for you, feels like more than a craft, it’s a grounding force. It’s working with earth in its most honest form. Clay doesn’t pretend. It responds to your hands, your mood, your patience. When you centre clay on the wheel or shape it slowly by hand, you’re not just making an object, you’re finding balance. There’s something deeply steadying about that rhythm; wedging, forming, trimming, glazing, firing. It asks you to slow down, to breathe, to be present. As someone who creates handmade ceramic pieces; ring dishes, bud vases, soap dishes, small cauldrons; your work carries intention. Each piece begins as something soft and shapeless, and through care and focus becomes something both beautiful and functional. That transformation mirrors something personal; turning raw feeling into something tangible and meaningful. Being a ceramic artist means embracing imperfection. No two pieces are ever identical. Fingerprints remain. Glazes break and pool in unexpected ways. You allow the kiln to have its say. There’s trust in that process, trust that not everything needs to be controlled to be beautiful. It also means creating objects that quietly enter people’s daily lives. A ring dish by a bedside. A soap dish in a bathroom. A small oil-slick glazed cauldron on a shelf catching light. Your work becomes part of someone’s rituals; their morning routines, their sacred spaces, their small moments of pause. Most of all, being a ceramic artist means you shape more than clay. You shape calm. You shape meaning. You shape small, lasting pieces of the world with your own hands.
