CONTEMPORARY CERAMICS & ADULT POTTERY CLASSES IN NORTH LONDON

ABOUT ME

 

I have been working as potter and teaching pottery since graduating from Falmouth School of Art in 1991.

 

My studio is situated in a warehouse in Finsbury Park from where I teach and hold regular exhibitions and sales.

 

ABOUT MY WORK

 

I work exclusively with stoneware clays, firing to approximately 1250 degrees in an electric kiln. The majority of my pieces are made from thrown porcelain and are made to be used as well as visually enjoyed.

 

My work is influenced in part by the techniques I learnt while studying in Japan, in part by the ethos of the Arts and Crafts Movement, which emphasises the importance of beauty as well as function.

 

I also love to sculpt and enjoy the use of sculpture in my functional pieces. I have a extensive range of glazes which I have developed over the years and am very proud of.
