2026 – Taking part in Potfest in the Pens Penrith – Autumn

I work exclusively in porcelain and am particularly drawn to the purity of form and line. I strive for my work to be delicate, elegant and to show the porcelain at its most beautiful occasionally using line or colour to emphasise a thought or reflection of what is around me.

I have spent twenty years working with textiles gaining a BA from Winchester in Textile Art. I began throwing at the beginning of lock down. All my work is thrown on the wheel. I glaze the inside of my work but leave the outer un-glazed and wet sand it after firing to a tactile silky, soft, smooth finish.
