2026 – Taking part in Potfest in the City – Glasgow

I create functional objects that can be used and enjoyed in daily life by a wide range of individuals – I want to further the idea that hand crafted ceramics can be used and enjoyed by everyone by making items and price points as accessible as possible. The majority of my work is thrown in porcelain on the wheel and fired to 1260c, with more complex shapes created using moulds and slip casting.

Decoration is an important aspect of my work with inspiration for pattern and surface design informed from a wide range of sources, from foliage and fauna to vintage 50s, 60s and 70s fabric designs. I love to experiment with colour and pattern to enhance the shape and forms created. Bright, bold colours – achieved using underglaze colours and a range of oxides – have become a signature of my work across a number of different items.
