2026 – Taking part in Potfest by the Lake – Compton Verney 

My material is my primary inspiration. I choose to throw my vessels on the wheel in porcelain, for its combination of delicacy and strength, and the pure surface it offers for a glaze. The form is paramount in the creation of my bowls and vases; fine, pared-back pieces with balance and harmony, that invite contemplation as well as use.

Surface decoration is minimal – an incised line on a foot or slip marks around the swell of a moon jar. I relish exploring a palette of serene glaze colours and textures, a variety of surfaces to complement the restrained forms.
