I divide my time between making ceramic sculpture, jewellery and pots. My work aims to explore the properties of different clays and glazes to produce beautiful and unusual pieces. Texture, surface additions and inclusions are features of my ceramics. My figurative work uses various techniques to shape and texture clay to capture the essential character of the animals. My vessels are also hand built but use surface additions including moulded shapes, impressions and oxides to produce unusual, individual pieces. |

I have been drawn to the process of throwing since I started ceramics over 20 years ago. Virtually all of my work is fired to stoneware (1260 – 1300oC) as I particularly like the properties and interactions of glazes, coatings and textures at these temperatures. At present I am experimenting with different effects inspired by geological and marine sources using surface techniques, colouring materials, such as oxides, and the inclusion of grits and gravel in the clay body. I keep returning to sgraffito however. The failure rate is lower! |
