About the artist

---

I first started working with clay as a hobby in 2002 and enjoyed it so much that I decided to enrol on a course in college. In 2007, I gained a BA (Hons) degree in Ceramics at West Wales School of the Arts in Carmarthen. From 2011 – 2020 I had the great pleasure of working as a Ceramic Technician and Teacher of Art at Bryanston School in Dorset, as well as making my own sculptures. 

My interests in nature and contemporary architecture provide me with the inspiration to create pieces that contain the essence of natural and man-made forms in shapes that have clarity of line and beauty in simplicity. A background in precision engineering has trained me to work with a meticulous eye for tight tolerances, refined lines and defined angles.

Of late, I have started making work which is a little more relaxed and could even be called whimsical at times. This new style is completely different from my usual work and is intended principally for the garden or patio. The garden pieces will be produced in addition to my usual precise work and will allow me the opportunity for greater experimentation and to offer more variety. All of this results in unique handmade ceramic sculptures for the garden and your home.

All my work is hand built using stoneware clay and I construct each piece individually without the aid of moulds. The modelling and carving of the finer details ensure every piece is unique. All work is high fired and many are suitable for displaying indoors or out.
