I started pottery many years ago as an antithesis to my commerce degree and I instantly fell in love with wheel throwing. With many changes from unsatisfying careers, moving continents 3 times and having a family there hasn't always been the mental space or time to make. I started pottery again as way to reclaim and rebuild my sense of self after so many life changes. Pottery demands you are present and connected to your body it is something I can find challenging but the reward when it all comes together is so rewarding I never tire of it.
I make mainly functional stoneware on the wheel concentrating on the simple form accentuating it with texture inspired by nature whether it is petals, leaves or lichen.
For Artweeks I am exploring form and texture making pieces inspired from nature making bowls, vases, lampshades and garden ornaments.
