HANDMADE FUNCTIONAL POTTERY FOR EVERYDAY
Hello there - I've been making pots for over 50 years. Clay is a magical material. It amazes me that you can start with just a ball of soft, plastic clay and end up with a solid, durable item to use in your home everyday. Over the years my work has evolved and extended, new lines and features are added every year as new challenges and ideas present themselves.
Most of my pieces are hand thrown on an electric wheel. I twice fire in an electric kiln, the first firing to 1000°C, then the items are glazed and fired a second time to 1280°C. Once made my wares can be purchased at any of the events that I attend each year or through the galleries that stock my pottery. Having owned and managed the Creative Gallery in Wareham for the past 12 years I hope to have more making time now we have sold the gallery.
Please check out images in my portfolio, where I will be showing my work in events, and the galleries where I sell in the next few pages.
