My Journey.

I remember as a child taking an after school class in clay, I made a brightly coloured clown and it sat in the glass cabinet for my entire childhood and I loved it. This was my very first experience with clay, it stuck with me somehow and I kept returning to the medium, repeatedly.

Skip to decades ahead and after other life adventures, art school in the 90’s, evening classes in the 2000’s, I attended a throwing course at the Leach pottery in 2021 and I haven’t stopped since. I was lucky enough to visit Denmark in 2023 for a residency and wood firing course and I have recently completed a ceramics development course at the Forest Row school of ceramics and it’s boosted my ceramics journey. This is where I really discovered reduction firing with gas, and fell in love with the vibrant results. I’ve been going with the flow since then and am enjoying the creative freedom this if giving me.

I have a studio in Hove where I make on my potters wheel, and bisque fire my work. I then high fire the pieces in reduction, either through a wood kiln, or gas. Both of which I travel out of town for.
