I work in stoneware to hand build my pots, creating small, medium and large pieces, both functional and sculptural. These are then fired in an electric kiln. My work is frost resistant and is therefore suitable for use both indoors and outside. I am very drawn to movement, form and texture in my pieces, taking my inspiration from traditional classical forms as well as the lines, tones and textures of nature. Handbuilding is a slow process and rarely results in perfect symmetry. Therefore no two pieces are exactly the same. Each piece is unique. In my studio in Iffley, I am constantly experimenting with different shapes, new glazes and glaze combinations. My ceramics and my skills are continually evolving and progressing, as I pursue my fascination with form and texture.
I'm delighted to be exhibiting once again in Iffley village with photographer Rob Farrands and artist Bridget Farrands in her beautiful garden studio.
