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

My toasted stoneware ceramics are thrown, textured and then reformed into functional pots and tableware, using my unique roulettes to create one off patterns. I then fire them in my studio using glazes which compliment the textures.

My current ‘Shipwreck’ collection comes in many forms of pots, sculptures and kitchenware.

I also, work with a lovely group of potters at Wobage. Where we make functional stoneware, which is salt-glazed and then wood fired our pieces under the watchful eye and expertise of the wonderful Jeremy Steward.

For you what does being an artist mean?: 

Through my artwork I am able to express my creativity and relax. I alway carry a sketch pad and paints where ever I travel, recording my experiences which inform my ceramics.

Describe what you call yourself/your practice?: 

I am a 3D designer, sculptor and potter who makes both functional and sculptural work from clay. I like to push the clay to it’s limit’s and experiment with new ideas.
