I trained in Ceramics at the West Surrey College of Art and Design in the 1970’s. For many years I ran a pottery making domestic stoneware decorated with images strongly influenced by the countryside, combined with teaching in adult education. After a break working in a Museum I have recently started making ceramic sculpture and garden pots. The stoneware pieces are made in crank clay fired to 1280C in an electric kiln. The earthenware is from Whichford Pottery, fired to 1060C and waxed. Some sections are thrown and then modelled, others are hand built. My subjects are generally figurative, animals, human heads and subjects from myths and legends. I have recently started making ammonites and pebbles, influenced by visits to the Jurassic Coast in Dorset. All my work is designed to work outside, especially in a garden setting.
