Made in porcelain, stoneware and oxides.

All pieces are thrown on the wheel and signed underneath in metallic oxide.

h150mm ø85mm

Made in porcelain and terracotta with a clear glazed interior.

All pieces are thrown on the wheel and then carefully refined by hand. Signed underneath in metallic oxide.

h190mm ø80mm

Made in an blend of porcelain and earthenware clay, with a clear glazed interior.

All pieces are thrown on the wheel and trimmed by hand. Signed underneath in metallic oxide.

h210mm ø85mm

Bottle with exaggerated form, made in an blend of porcelain and white stoneware clays plus 20% reclaimed clay from previous projects, with a clear glazed interior.

This work is the result of a period of inquiry and refinement of the bottle form. A fundamental shape is constructed geometrically on paper from lines and arcs. Versions are thrown at the wheel, and refined over several making periods through a process of evaluation and selection.

All pieces are thrown on the wheel and trimmed by hand. Signed underneath in metallic oxide.

ø215mm h70mm

Made in white, slightly textured clay with pleasing striations and a gloss interior.

All pieces are thrown on the wheel and trimmed by hand. Signed underneath in metallic oxide.

Pair made in a blend of porcelain and blue pigment.

All pieces are thrown on the wheel and then carefully refined by hand. Signed underneath in metallic oxide.

1pm–6pm

This introductory workshop is held at my studio in Margate, UK.

Over the course of the afternoon, you will learn about the processes and techniques involved in making ceramics and how to throw on the potter's wheel.

There are two spaces per class, so each participant will receive focused instruction. Arrangments can be made for your pieces to be glazed and fired after the class.

Equipment and materials will be provided but please bring some suitable clothes or an apron .

11am–6pm

This is a full-day masterclass held at my studio in Margate, UK.

Over the course of the day, you will learn about the material qualities of clay bodies and explore the principles of blending different clay types.

By the end of the class you will have created a series of test pieces covering tone, texture and handling characteristics, ready to take and use as reference for your own practice.

The class is one-on-one so will cater for a range of levels of experience and along the way there’ll be time to talk clay and discuss techniques and approaches to all aspects of creating studio pottery.

Equipment, materials and lunch will be provided and firing can be arranged for work made during the day.

Crucible is a modular series based on a simple form; a round-bottomed cylinder, which can be resized for different functions. This drawing shows the key modification to an otherwise very basic shape; the circle that defines the curved underside is slightly offset above the centre point of the vessel, giving it lightness and lift.

These drawings are not designs as such, but an attempt to understand and consolidate 12 months of work throwing pots at the wheel, to identify a set of geometric rules and mechanisms which describe the refined forms and provide a framework for future exploration.

They are printed on a naturally off-white/grey paper with occasional flecks, and are designed to be framed against brilliant white to accentuate these qualities. If you would like to use my framing specifications, please get in touch.

Arc is a series of footed bowls with flowing, continuous profiles, which unfurl, becoming shallower and wider, as they increase in size. The curves are defined as part of the intersection of two circles, which can be repositioned to create the profiles for a range of vessels.
