2026 – Taking part in Potfest by the Lake – Compton Verney and Potfest in the Park – Hutton-in-the-Forest

My work is deeply rooted in the North Devon Slipware and country pottery traditions and I make Contemporary Slipware that has a good Anchor in Tradition. The goal is to be moving forwards while always looking backwards…

My pots are thrown, slabbed and extruded. My throwing has a human touch, I use very little tools, making techniques aren’t hidden and nothing is turned. The slip decoration is Fluid and a celebration of clay in its liquid form. Pots are to be used and hopefully enjoyed in the kitchen and at the table.
