THE MAKER
-
I am a ceramicist based in the UK, having
created my own personal style with a career spanning nearly 40 years, my work portrays curvy figures influenced by Greek antiquity and the colours of the impressionists.
Known for my figurative nudes and unique use
of colour, I make contemporary functional ceramics, designed and handcrafted to bring bright and modern wares to your everyday life.

I have been working with clay since specialising in
ceramics at Camberwell College of Art and Crafts. I was captured by the immediate responsiveness of clay and its fleshy quality as it pushed back on my hands. There I was exposed to and mentored by prominent
potters such as Colin Pearson and Janice Tchalenko.
In 1983 I established a studio in South London at Sumner Road Workshops with Philip Vian which
soon grew to be a collective of makers. Now based in
Lincolnshire I work independently from my home studio
and work closely with galleries across the UK.
