I am a studio potter making functional and one-off pieces,
working
with
a range of stoneware and porcelain clays. My work is fired
in an oriental style three-chamber wood-kiln and a
salt-glaze gas kiln, both of which I have built myself. I
am fascinated by the interaction of salt and wood-fire
with the clay. These methods of firing enhance by forms
and are a source of constant inspiration.
I am also a professionally trained Art and Ceramics
teacher and have been running
pottery courses
for adults (beginners to professional) here at my studio since 1995. Have a look at this season’s courses. Individuals and groups can choose from a range of pottery courses suitable for all levels. There are beginners courses and courses for more advanced students focusing on salt-glazing, creative-throwing or wood-firing.
