Sculptural and figurative Ceramics

. Handmade in Devon

About 

My pieces are formed intuitively and often with abstract representation. Elements of the local coast, wild estuary and working port often emerge, in particular the ever changing silvery estuary tide and rugged textures of the surrounding natural landscapes.  

Remembered fragments of my wandering travels, my playful inner child and a career working therapeutically with people are also key influences, often seen reflected in characters, metaphor and suggested emotion.  

I hand-build from slabbed and coiled clay, mostly white or black stoneware, fired to high temperatures. I often leave sections unglazed, or decorate with matte tactile  finishes.

I'm also licensed to hand-dig and process a limited amount of local wild clay which I use as a slip, a glaze addition and as a clay body on smaller items. I love working with this iron-rich red clay, very locally sourced, being harvested less than 100 metres from my studio!

Where 

 Located in the South Devon village of Shaldon, I work from a small studio close to the estuary edge. 

In addition to the more easily posted items in my online shop, I exhibit at local artisan or gallery events &  at

Devon Open Studios

See my facebook or Instagram pages for upcoming dates.
