I live in West Herts and work from my converted shed in the garden. I have a degree in Fine Art and have always had a love of drawing. Too many years ago to mention I worked with clay and even became reasonably skilled at throwing. And then I stopped - even gave all the tools away. But ...
... about six years ago I re-discovered ceramics. I'm inspired by natural forms, the sea, craggy rocks and the wonderful world of pebbles. Probably something to do with my seaside East Anglian early life and love of bleak coastlines, plus a response to the wild landscapes of the Outer Hebrides, Nova Scotia, Newfoundland and Iceland. I'm a committed hand-builder. My ceramics usually take the form of vessels, sometimes using a mixture of clays, and these give me a surface to develop, using texture, slips, oxides, stains and minimal glaze.
