“I am a self-taught ceramicist and I hand-form my delicate porcelain vessels, bowls and vases out of black and white porcelain. I line most of my work with platinum and gold lustre adding depth, reflection and celebration, leaving the exterior of each piece unglazed to create a tactile juxtaposition with the smooth ‘molten-looking’ lustre interior and the more organic rougher exterior. I never make anything bigger than I can comfortably create in my hand because I like to keep an unbroken connection to the clay throughout the making process. My work is fluid, fine and asymmetrical and no two pieces are ever the same. I am inspired by the elements, especially the sea and I like to create pieces full of movement and individuality. I work in beautiful South Devon and on a clear day I can just see the shining ribbon of the River Dart from my studio window.”
