Taking part in Potfest Scotland – Scone Palace and Potfest Suffolk – Haughley Park

My work is inspired by the marks of human activity all around us. Bustling cityscapes, timeworn aspects of an industrial building, casual graffiti… They convey the universal human wish to be seen and to communicate: ” am/was here”. I make wheelthrown forms and use stoneware clays layered with coloured slips and oxides in various combinations of mark making and sgraffito. I intend to capture the layered, palimpsest-like, quality of the human story. For further layering and for purposes of functionality I use clear or white glazes with occasional addition of coloured glazes. I work from my Studio located at Spode Works, a heritage site, in Stoke-on-Trent.
