Statement 
My work is all hand built earthenware. Methods of coiling, pinching and relief modelling are used to slowly build a variety of domestic forms: candlesticks, jugs and large celebratory pieces. These are painted with under glazes and clear glazes and reflect in colour and form land and seascape, the weather and seasons. I aim to combine function with evocative and observed images of country life to produce joyful individual pieces.
