About
My love of working with clay began in my teenage years. I remember clearly the first coil pot I made, a bright blue vase, complete with fish and seaweed twisted around and jutting out from the pot. I felt at home with clay in my hands and that feeling has stayed with me throughout my adult life.
​
There is something primal about working with clay, the process of shaping and building feels grounding and meditative. When I create a vessel, I’ll usually have something particular in mind, but I allow for this to evolve as I make. I like the fluidity of this, ideas often evolve, and shift and I like that my pots follow a similar process.
​
I enjoy what others see and feel in response to my work, this process feels important and inspires me. At the heart of my work is a deep love and joy for nature, and harmony and balance are central themes that quite often underpin my ideas.
contact.
Its a great privilege when someone falls in love with one of my pots and if you have found a pot that you love, please do get in touch and let me know. I am always happy to hear from people who may want to commission or purchase a piece.
