My thrown kitchenware is made to be touched, used and enjoyed. The designs have evolved, removing complexity to give an overall clean and simple form. I encourage people to use handmade items, this brings simple pleasure to the everyday. 

The glazes I use have a subtle palette with a variation in depth of colour accentuating the throwing lines. The muted hues enhance the overall shape of the work and highlight the handles and openings against the main form. This domestic ware is oven and dishwasher safe.  

Having been surrounded by basketry and ironwork throughout my life; these practical crafts have influenced my approach to domestic vessels. The fluidity and strength of leatherwork, particularly straps and handles as an added medium, are of particular personal interest.  

My work is on display in Cirencester, Bovey Tracey, Bevere in Worcester, London and Abergavenny. In 2018 my work was displayed at the New Designers exhibition where it was selected as Highly Recommended by Denby.
