I finally started my own small business late last year, after over 30 years of teaching ceramics and art. However, I am still in touch with education, holding various workshops in my garden studio. I have developed my own hand-built techniques and designs in both functional and sculptural ceramics. My work derives from particular influences and impressions sourced in texture, colour and pattern through a natural history context. My hand-built slabbed pieces demonstrate my love of colours and patterns mostly inspired by the natural world around us. My most recent works have developed from observations made in typically English woodland, forests garden borders, hedgerows, fields, and meadows. I use mainly underglazes and oxides when decorating my work.
I have been selling my work through Artisans Handmade Gallery Newbury, Henley and Wokingham Craft Fairs, Celebrating Ceramics 2021 @ Waterperry, Art in Clay @ Farnham and various galleries to be found via my website,
