About 

I am a ceramic artist based on the South Coast of Dorset. I have produced aesthetic art pieces for many years but have recently rediscovered throwing and become struck by the unique appeal of ceramics as functional art. Inspired by the South West as a place where rugged nature has been lived in but not lost, I create my Home collection to explore the point where beauty and practical purpose meet.

I have always been fascinated by the naked surface of the clay. I add oxides to the clay body to create the exterior colours without having to mask the natural texture of the material. The interior surfaces of the pieces are glazed to ensure that they are food safe. In developing these glazes I have discovered a rich palette of colours that are reminiscent of the South West itself. It is my hope that this work is art that will be touched, used, and treasured.
