pottery like people: each unique, made with love and for a purpose.

inspiration & process

It’s not easy to articulate what drives my inspiration as it is
ever-evolving. Below are some ideas that I like to challenge my art with. The process is always one of making mistakes, problem solving and patience patience patience: working with clay is a lengthy process but the opportunities endless.

  • ageless articles

    Reinterpreting tradition – Modern takes on classic pottery forms.

    Innovating function – Rethinking usability and purpose in new ways.

    Blending eras – Combining historical aesthetics with contemporary methods.

  • unspoken narratives

    Storytelling through form – Crafting pieces that communicate narratives without words.

    Challenging stereotypes – Using sculpture to question norms and spark dialogue.

    Eliciting emotion – Creating works that provoke reflection, laughter, or unexpected reactions.

  • honouring the ocean

    Interpreting marine beauty – Capturing oceanic elements in ceramics without harvesting natural resources.

    Sustainable inspiration – Creating art that celebrates the sea while preserving its ecosystems.

    Coastal harmony – Designing pieces that complement and reflect the coastal environment.

  • Breaking the Rules

    Expanding surface treatments – Using acrylic and oil paints on fired ceramics to achieve unique visual depth.

    Layering techniques – Combining traditional glazes with alternative finishes for richer textures and contrasts.

    Ensuring longevity – Experimenting with sealing methods to maintain durability and permanence.
