Inspired

David, my Ceramics tutor put me onto an artist calledGordon Baldwin. His work is inspiring,. I love the simplicity and structure of the forms, the glaze it beautiful, hard against soft. Check him out at:The CAA

Exciting new venture with Jeff


Watch this space. Jeff and I are combining skills to produce a few vessels, cocooned in fabrics. Jeff is an infinitely better potter and makes the most beautiful thrown containers and having recently spent time in Tanzania he was keen to try to 'house' vessels in a woven frame or 'basket'. I will try to match his expertise and conjure up some textile forms to swathe his pots..... Keep your eye out as the process unfolds.....

Exciting glazes


Having spent a few weeks slab building and now getting to grips with coiling I am glazing the vessels with a weird and wonderful selection of oxides and semi matt glaze. The resulting pieces are quite 'organic' in their appearance and I am really pleased with the results.

Head down

The glaze is perfect, semi matt cream, so smooth like a pebble.
