My work varies from large blue/ copper red stoneware forms, to smaller fine carved porcelain. Often enhanced with lustres.

​

I have been working from my home studio in Soldiers Point for the past 4 years, usually accompanied by our two Labradors. I previously lived in Bathurst, where I had my own studio/workshop, and taught art/ceramics at a local high school. My work constantly evolves through the process of exploring forms, refining decoration techniques, and experimenting with glazes and lustres.

​

Most of my forms and decorations relate to both natural (from my local environment), and historical sources. Many of my pots are thrown on the wheel, but I also enjoy hand building, firings are done in both electric and gas kilns.

​

I enjoy making lidded vessels with particular detail to decorative feet and handles. Larger domestic forms are made in stoneware with bright blue and copper red glazes.

​

At the moment I am working with porcelain clay using celadon and copper red glazes, a range of decals, lustres, stamp designs, screen printing and carving are used to decorate both hand built and thrown forms. Working with clay, glaze and fire......is a way of life for me...….a constant source of frustration, fascination, lots of fun, and wonder.

​

I hope the pleasure I get from making my pieces shows in my work, and brings equal pleasure to those who use it.
