Exhibition information

I will be exhibiting a selection of my handbuilt decorstive pottery. Each piece is unique though all take inspiration from the themes of landscape and nature motifs which run through my work.

Artist information

I like to create ceramics that connect both visually and through touch, from very early on in my  practice tactility has played a huge part in my ceramics, resulting in pieces which are designed to be held as well as seen.

I mainly work using hand building techniques and like to take these as far as the clay will allow. I use various techniques to texture surfaces – such as using found objects to create pattern and texture. My designs are varied and, though a theme may be repeated, most pieces are unique.

Some of my work represents entire landscapes, while other pieces concentrate on particular elements such as symbols from ancient rock art, seedheads and shell imprints, or pieces which look like they have been in the sea for decades!

I learned her craft taking regular classes and workshops at Oxfordshire Arts. I became an Associate Artists at Ayers House Studios this year. I’ve exhibited during Oxfordshire Artweeks and in the Dolphin Gallery, Wantage. My pot “The White Horse on the Hill” received a highly commended award at the Swire Ridgeway Art Prize 2024
