2026 – Taking part in Potfest Scotland – Scone Palace

Focusing on the materiality of clay I build large round hand-built vessels and smaller thrown works experimenting with clays, texture and smoke firing. My intention is that some the calm and focus of the making process is somehow retained within my fired work.
My affinity with clay has been lifelong. After studying in the Midlands in the 1980s, I established studios firstly in Derby and then in rural Southwest Scotland where I continue to live and work.
