B.A Honours in Three Dimensional Design - Wood, Metal, Ceramics and Glass from Manchester Polytechnic.

My work is firmly rooted in design and I delight in creating solutions in thrown tableware.
I'm influenced by fragments of archaeological finds, whilst field walking and the textural / surface pattern found in hedgerows and shorelines of Angus. I also draws from my South Asian heritage, specifically the rich vibrant hues applied to temple architecture in Tamil Nadu.

Pieces are wheel thrown in small batches from stoneware clay that has crushed flecks and spangles wedged into the clay body, creating a unique speckling across the surface of each piece.
I have developed rich colour hues in matt, satin and high gloss. The glazes have been trialled and tested to fit and enhance each piece, accentuating the form or finger ring thrown surface.

The form, function and surface of each piece is designed and developed through sketchbooks and then further refined in the ceramics studio until the final piece is produced in the kiln. Creating a collection of tactile vessels that are a pleasure to use and display.
