The work
Three ranges
More than any tangible influence, for me pottery is the physical expression of feelings that are hard to express in words.
Fireflower Range
This black stoneware tableware range is inspired by my South African childhood and in particular the wildfires that sweep across the mountains of the Western Cape.

Bird range
This uplifting range of stoneware dishes are decorated in the muted greens, blues and greys of the Cornish countryside.

Common Ground Range
A newer range, more restrained in colour and design, including some handbuilt pieces. It complements the Fireflower range really well.

Where the work comes from
I grew up in South Africa and the clear African skies and natural world are reflected in my work. So are memories of pots for sale along the road and in my parents' house. Equally important inspiration comes from the ever changing Cornish landscape and the birds in my garden.
Perfection in a pot is something elusive of course, but the search is what keeps me excited.
Where to see the work
What is for sale is in the shop, with its own photograph and price. The pieces that are not are usually in one of the shops and galleries that stock the work — or in the studio, if you would like to arrange a visit.
