Profile

After a lifetime of making & teaching ceramics I established a new studio at Creek Creative in Faversham in 2010.

My porcelain collection is inspired by my love of nature and the flora & fauna of the North Kent marshes where I live. I like to use the structures & textures found in natural forms juxtaposed with textures from found objects to produce an unusual but affordable range of work which is both decorative & functional. I use fine porcelain clay which reflects the delicacy of the textures and soft underglaze colours to enhance the decoration.

For my garden range I utilise the coarser texture of stoneware crank clay to make succulent pots, planters & bird baths. The forms & decoration are influenced by rock strata & pebbles & I use textures from found objects plus fossils & shells which are highlighted by oxides & dry glazes.

This is just a selection of my work, as all pieces are individual please contact me for current availability.
