Details
My studio, situated in an area of historic welsh parkland, was the ideal location to explore the welsh obsession with spoons, given traditionally as a symbol of Love, from husband to wife.
My spoons, made from delicate porcelain and high fired, have grown from their functional roots into more symbolic and historically inspired pieces. Strongly associated with the tradition of Welsh Love Spoons they are complex structures of delicate, interwoven forms. Representing our friendships, relationships and families, they speak of the beauty and complexity of modern relationships.
