Handbuilt ceramics for home and garden

Butterfly Vase

Urchins and Nut Ceramics

My work is inspired by the organic world, in particular by full rounded forms and their surface patterns. Each item is individually hand-built, using coils or slabs, which means that each piece is an individual with subtle variations in the finished form. I then apply oxides and/or glazes which enhance the textural nature of the surface. Other pieces are burnished and then smoke-fired in sawdust, which leads to random smoky patterns which give a look almost of wood.

Some of my pieces are functional, others purely for enjoyment. Many are also suitable for adding a point of interest to your garden or patio and can stay out all year round.

Smoke-fired Coasters

Giraffe Squash Group

My work has been sold at many galleries, particularly in Yorkshire where I am based, and I have also exhibited at several different craft fairs in the region. Do look at my gallery for examples of my range, and please contact me for a full brochure and price listing, or if you wish to discuss anything about my work.

Prices start from £5 and go up to about £250 for the largest pieces.

Pottery inspired by nature.
