2016 I moved to Kent and set up my own studio at Nucleus Arts in Chatham, making and teaching.
2018 I moved back to St Ives to set up a studio at the Gaolyard Studios, owned by John Bedding. I began teaching on the intensive throwing courses at the Leach Pottery. And this is what I'm doing now!

After University I worked for a couple of different potters including Peter Beard and Penny Simpson. 2014 I moved to St Ives to work at the Leach Pottery. My first year there was funded by the charity Adopt a Potter.
I then became a part of the production team at the Leach.

I've had a few new followers recently, so i thought I'd say hello 👋 this is me!
I started working with clay during my A-levels in Lancashire in around 2007. Then, I studied ceramics at the University of Wolverhampton, where I did a BA Hons degree and an MA.
See next post for the rest!!

My tankards hold a pint of fluid.I made these thinking they would be popular for beer/cider. However, I'm pretty sure everyone uses them for pints of coffee and tea!

Here's a sweet little trio of bud vases I fired recently. I love how vibrant the glazes look on these guys. Perfect thickness of glaze. 👌

I tried something slightly different with this teabowl and I'm very happy with the results.
I glazed it very thick, went for a double dip.

This is a close-up of one of my mugs. This glaze combination creates the craziest patterns and colours where the glazes mix together.

This week I taught a specialist surface design course at the Leach Pottery. We covered loooads and the students made some great work.

Here is the inside of one of my bowls. I think of these as soup bowls, as the handles are useful if the bowl is hot. However, I have one and I use it for my fruit in the morning!

A little matching pair of a teabowl and a lidded pot. I like to see pots as being a family. These guys are definitely sisters.

Here are a couple of the different stages in my carving process. All of my patterns are carved by hand in to the surface of the clay.

The design is a classic of mine now, one I often go back to and enjoy. It's nice to have a back catalogue of patterns that I like to carve.

Here is a recently fired teabowl. All of my work is thrown at the wheel and carved by hand. I then use multiple glazes to create juicy colours.
