Seeking balance from the rush of modern life I make vessels to enhance the everyday rituals of eating and drinking. These rituals are enhanced by the vessels we use; by what we see, what we pass around and what we hold and touch.
In creating my work I first ask ‘What would I like to use in my home to enhance those everyday pleasures of eating and drinking?’. I then guide the clay to create simple forms for everyday use, hoping to create a connection between my hands and the hands of another.

Captivated instantly by the therapeutic effects of clay in 2015, I quickly appreciated the learning opportunities it offered, both creatively and technically.
I work from my garden studio in Brighton which gives me the convenience to juggle family commitments and my work .


Wild, natural elements and their affect on objects give me a starting point for inspiration for my surfaces. Rusted metal, flaking paint, wood that has been smoothed by the sea, or polished from being touched by human hands over thousands of years. The tattooing of urban environments in the form of graffiti. Dark, storm looming skies, bright yellow rapeseed fields at the end of summer. I then mark my work with oxides or wax resist, taking inspiration from the simplest of brush strokes or wherever I see pattern. Embroidery, tribal markings, symbols on drain covers or buildings.

Exploring my environment further in my work I like to collect local clay and use wood ash in my work. I often incorporate clay found on Whitstable beach, Ashdown forest and my local walk at Sheepcote Valley, near Brighton. After many tests I am currently using local Ash wood and Sycamore wood ash in my glazes. This adds an element of surprise to my fairly predictable electric fired work, which I thrive on.
