Statement 
I use the technique of press moulding to create natural forms such as birds and animals. I am inspired by the functional and decorative elements of Chelsea tureens and serving-dishes. Press moulding appeals to me in its capacity for reproducing sometimes very detailed forms. This also gives much scope for individuality in the surface texture and colour of each piece.
