Welcome to my studio

I'm a ceramic artist based in Cambridge, specialising in smoke firing techniques. I create sculptural forms rather than functional pots. Each piece shaped by memories of seaside trips and sunsets, capturing emotion through shape and texture, ready to find a new home.

My journey with clay began in 1995 on my kitchen table as a complete novice, introduced to this world of creation by a potter friend and since then I was hooked.

I then attended several workshops in Italy, France and the UK with renowned ceramicists such as David Roberts, Tjok Dessauvage, and Jane Perryman and British sculptor Mo Jupp — a major influence on my sculptures and the reason I started exhibiting my work.

Fast forward to 2010, I earned a BA in Ceramic Design from Glasgow School of Art.

My work explores abstract forms, female torsos, vessels, and animal sculptures, each piece individually hand-crafted and one of a kind.

Surfaces are left unglazed and bear the distinctive marks of smoke and natural materials such as seaweed, dried twigs, recycled newspapers, discarded horse hair, and oxides. These organic traces create subtle, unpredictable patterns, giving each piece its own story and character.
