I am a ceramic artist working across wheel-throwing and handbuilding in stoneware clay to form functional ceramics intended to be held, handled, and lived with over time. I work in small batches, allowing time for observation, adjustment, and material development. My intent and interest lies in the relationship between object and use.

 

My practice is rooted in the making of functional ceramics that explore material, surface, and form through repetition and variation. Each piece is made individually in my studio, using developed clay bodies and glaze systems that respond to specific gas firings, movement, and textures. Subtle differences in form and surface are embraced as part of the work’s language, reflecting the physical and unpredictable nature of clay.

 

My process moves between control and response.

I build forms shifting between structure and gesture. Once created, each piece is refined, dried, and bisque fired before being finished with handmade glaze recipes developed in my studio practice. Firing is a critical stage in the work. It is here that surface, tone, and variation are fully revealed, and where each object develops its final identity.

 

My work is grounded in the principle of individualism.

I create ceramic objects as open systems rather than fixed sets—designed to be chosen, combined, and completed by the person who lives with them. Each collection becomes personal through selection. 

​

I have designed this website as a space you can return to, and find new evolving forms, and works that will blend and integrate with the range of pieces you acquire.

It is always such a joy, to pass my work, from my hands… to yours.
