About
Have been making pottery since I was a teenager. Became interested in encaustic tiles after a visit to the Hospital of St Cross in Winchester and then discovering Winchester had three world class collections of medieval floor tiles. Currently make tiles with prepared commercial clays but starting to experiment with home-dug wild clays. Tile designs are replica's of the Wessex school as found in Winchester and nearby areas. Current project is to reproduce the tile roundel in Muchelney Church using home dug clay.
