My work consists of soft, round functional forms for using everyday. Handmade
vessels can enhance a connected response with our things, sharing food from a
large bowl, drinking from your favourite mug brings about ritual, comfort and
hopefully joy to our lives. Within the creation of food, there is an act of love
for ourselves and others and I hope special handmade vessels enrich this
experience. After studying at Falmouth University, I completed a pottery
apprenticeship in Cornwall. I now live in Devon but work from my studio in
Bridport, Dorset. I wood fire some of my pottery with a group of potters in
Dorset. The process involves loading the wood kiln over two days to reach the
top temperature of 1280 degrees. During the firing, ash from the wood falls
inside the kiln and creates organic surfaces on the pots. I also use a gas
reduction kiln and electric for certain glazes.
