My work starts with wheel-thrown forms, after which I alter the surface by carving, sgraffito and painting with slip.
The aim is to make tactile work that calls to be held and brought into everyday use.
I blend a variety of stoneware clays to create a body that has strength and visual interest and then I fire in reduction to draw out the individuality of each piece.
My work is a distillation of my daily activities, the pursuit of meaning and a desire to connect with life.
