I make both functional and decorative ceramics using hand building techniques, from my home studio in rural Northumberland. My work reflects the landscape around me, and a childhood growing up in Scotland, especially holidays to the West Coast. Each piece is uniquely textured with found objects such as wooden printing blocks, and wallpapers. Illustrating my love of the natural world, vases and flower bricks form a large part of my work. Originally a scientist, the chemistry of glazing is a particular interest. Celedon glazes are my main passion because of their ability to emphasise the delicacy of texture. My current range includes jugs, bowls, plates, tea-lights, soap dishes and vases.
