I am a potter based on the Norfolk/Suffolk border, a beautiful area with gently rolling farmland, and the most magnificent skies. My collection of ceramics is wheel-thrown and decorated with coloured slips (liquid clay) in a variety of abstract designs.

My Dad is, and my grandfather was, a very keen vegetable grower, and during my degree I took inspiration for my surface designs from their treasured gardening tools. I still love mark-making, but now my patterns evolve in a more intuitive way, by layering colour onto the clay’s surface, in a constant exploration of lines and circles.

When I’m not potting, I can usually be found out for a walk, watching a B&W film, cooking or eating! I am always on the look-out for new recipes (especially ones containing cardamom or za'taar). I love visiting a good book shop and exhibition. Matisse is one of my favourite artists, and the work of Vanessa Bell and Duncan Grant are a huge source of inspiration to me.
