I'm an Irish potter based in North Dorset. I enjoy the challenge of making seemingly simple yet complex forms; and love altering pots whenever I can. I use coloured slip with traditional pottery techniques, inlay and sgraffito, and paper resist to make work with a contemporary feel. Inspired by the patterns of easily overlooked manmade objects, such as bins and window panes and by the agricultural lines of the Witlshire hillls, I embrace the natural imperfections and qualities of the materials and decorating techniques to add character to my pieces.

Part of the excitement for me comes from never exactly knowing how the piece will look when the kiln is opened.
