Having worked as an illustrator for many years it wasn’t long into my pottery journey before these two worlds began to merge. The joy of creating artwork combining both beauty & practical function has always felt particularly fulfilling.

 

My ceramic work focuses on traditional wheel thrown forms which are brought to life with intricate hand illustrated decoration. I predominantly throw using stoneware before working into the clay using an array of decorative materials and techniques including coloured slips, stains, underglazes, glazes, sgraffito and wax resist. Themes centre on a joyous appreciation for the natural world and reflect my love of the surrounding countryside. Based in rural Kent I work from my garden studio, taking seasonal inspiration from the native plants and wildlife around me. I am heavily influenced by traditional folk art and historical crafts. All pieces are crafted and decorated by hand meaning no two are ever exactly the same.

 

I predominantly sell my work at ceramic fairs and gallery exhibitions so please check my upcoming shows page to see where I am next showing!
