About Me

In autumn 2019, a friend persuaded me to join her pottery class at our local arts centre. "You'll love it," she said. "We have such a laugh." Of course, she was right; many lumpy pots started appearing in my home and we had a lot of cheerful evenings, but from the moment I touched clay I was utterly hooked by the endless creative possibilities it holds.

By 2025 I had a wheel, two kilns, a workshop full of tools, and a pottery business I love.

Clay has a way of demanding your full attention.  When your hands are on a lump of mud, everything else falls away; it’s just you and that small piece of earth turning between your fingers. It's simple, absorbing, and it never stops teaching you something new and valuable.

I'm drawn to clean lines and balanced forms, pieces that feel good to hold and to use in everyday life. There's something about a handmade object that a mass-produced one can't quite replicate; you tend to remember where you found it, what made you pick it up. That's the kind of connection I'm interested in making.

My glazes are rooted in lovely memories of two holidays on the Isles of Scilly. The open sky, the clear water, the pale sand, and a glorious sense of freedom; the Scillies are a place that left me feeling calm and quietly restored. I've tried to carry something of that feeling into my work.

Life moves fast. I hope my work acts as a reminder to pause, to notice the beauty in small things, to slow down for a moment and to breathe.
