About
I work from my garden studio in Oxfordshire and make functional stoneware, pots, plates, bowls, large dishes and many more practical items. I am totally passionate about wheel throwing. It is pure magic to create a usable object out of clay on the wheel.
Decoration is limited to using patterned, ceramic rollers on the clay. I use a rustic, white clay to go with the rustic, natural pot I aim to create and apply a white glaze made for me in Ireland. Since visiting a number of potters in Japan I incorporate akebia vine in my work for handles or loops. A natural material, each strand is different. I soak the akebia in water for 2 days to make it pliable.
All my work can be used on a daily basis. Fruit or organic vegetables are so colourful and stand out well against the white glaze. I love going out to our greenhouse and pick beautiful, fresh green leaves to fill a white salad bowl. Nothing needs to be added to that picture.
