North Devon
As you may have guessed my passion is Ceramics and especially the hand building
techniques such as ‘coiling’ and ‘slab building’ which I than carve back at the
leather dry clay stage. I am intrigued by the Raku firing technique although
Stoneware firing is a also a strong process in the finishing technique of my
work. I like to classify myself as a Ceramicist rather than a Potter as I tend
to think of a potter as artist that competently uses the wheel to produce
functional work. I always find it hard to describe my work as it varies so much
and takes it insperation from so many areas and influiences and these change
regularly, one thing for sure is that I have more ideas in my head than I’m ever
going to be able to make. As well a exhibiting locally and nationally I also
teach and run workshops for Raku Firing and handbuilding. As I build my own Raku
kilns I can now offer this as a service, so if you are interested please get in
contact. I have been lucky to make some great friends through ceramics along the
way and have to thank them all for enriching my life and saving me from complete
madness. Please feel free to contact me if you have any questions.
