I’m a potter, based in an idyllic setting on the South Devon coast, with a studio overlooking the sea. The surrounding coastline is the main source of inspiration for my work.
 
I have a large collection of found objects gleaned from the high tide line, and I draw and photograph the coast extensively. I am also inspired by the patterns of colour and tone in the hedgerows and by smaller details like butterfly and moth wings, insects and wild flowers.
 
I find the chemistry of glazes and the infinite variations in forming techniques fascinating. I am constantly testing new material and techniques, driven by a need and desire to make new work, which is an expression of the joy and pleasure I get from living and working in Devon.
 
The following pages give a taste of my current work, but don’t show everything that I’m up to at the moment. Please check back soon for a bigger gallery.
