I am interested in the balance between purely decorative and functional ware and make a range of vases, bowls and boxes inspired by my domestic and local environment. My forms are soft, rounded, tactile and pleasing to hold.
I make vessels with porcelain, by hand-building and using press moulds I have cast myself.
I love the feel and look of unglazed porcelain and use glaze only occasionally to contrast with the matt smooth surface of the fired clay body. The second firing ensures my work is watertight and functional.
Because my work is handmade I allow any subtle making lines to be seen and felt as they are part of the integrity of the object and make each piece unique.
Colour is an important part of my work used sparingly to enhance the whiteness of the porcelain. I decorate my pieces using coloured slip inlay or black underglaze.
