Thank you for looking at my work, I really appreciate your interest.
I make functional stoneware pottery from a studio next to my home. In February I moved from my house in London to live on a narrowboat not far from Windsor. It's been a welcome change in lifestyle and a very different way of living. I'm loving my boat, the community and being surrounded by nature. I'm enjoying towpath walks with my dog, Finn, and living life at 4 miles an hour!
My pottery is wheel thrown using a stoneware clay. I prefer Earthstone which, when fired, has an almost white colour and slight texture; this suits the functionality of the items I make and the methods I use. All my pieces are individual, I don't follow a specific template and prefer to use the weight of the clay as a guide rather than measurements; dimensions and shapes will differ slightly rather than conform. I like the piece used to feel just yours, an everyday item but also tactile and unique to you. I typically use four glazes in my work, prefering to use these glazes individually or overlay them for a more muted or dramatic effect. I am beginning to develop new glazes to reflect the changing seasons and their effect on the water around me. I like to leave an area on the base of my work, the naked clay then highlighting the contrast between the rough, matte clay, in it's natural form, and the smooth glossy finish of the item.
My work is predominantly for the kitchen, often the focal area in a home, preparing food for families and friends then eating and drinking indoors or out!
