About me

I started making pottery in the 1990s at my local community centre where I was taught to throw, glaze and decorate. The more I learnt, the more mesmerised I became by the process of creating art using very simple resources from nature.

​

Over the last decade I have moved to different countries and continents. I lived in California, Singapore and Hong Kong. In all of these places I never stopped making pottery. I also met many exceptional potters and I learnt a lot.

​

California was a melting pot for the craft of pottery -  from the Native American and traditional Japanese influences to the contemporary. There, at the studio where I worked I learnt about different methods of firing. It was very exciting to experiment with the unpredictability of the reduction atmospheres after years working with controlled and predictable electric kilns.

​

Hong Kong was another milestone for me as a potter. I became fascinated by the wealth of the Chinese ceramic history and especially by the timelessness of the Northern Song ceramics.

 

Today, I have settled in the Cotswolds where I work in my studio and have the ambition to build my own wood kiln.
