2024 – Taking part in Potfest in the Pens – Melton Mowbray

I am a ceramic artist based in Essex UK making mostly sculptural and sometimes functional work.

I studied studio Ceramics as part of the first cohort of Clay College in Stoke on Trent and was exposed to a wide variety of artists and techniques. I intended to develop as functional ware maker however through my studies I found myself increasingly drawn to more sculptural and abstract forms and ideas.

My current work of Labyrinth-Covered forms are made to be held and touched making the contrasting textures as important as colour.
Labyrinth patterns are often associated with pilgrimage and reflection and my work invites the holder/viewer to take themselves on a journey across the whole piece in an experience of sight and touch.

Finding my way after graduation took longer than I expected, I have been developing my current project for a few years and in the last year I have started to push and promote it more, exhibiting in Stoke on Trent and Whitstable (Kent) in group events. I would like to show my work at a Pot-fest Show as a next step in promoting my work to a larger audience.
