Form, function and craft are equally important to me and whilst I strive to create finely made pieces that are pleasing both visually and to hold, they are also functional. Harmony and purity of form are central to my current work, inspired by natural forms, as well as the attraction and challenge of mastering the skills necessary to achieve such simple looking pieces.

My slab-pots are constructed and decorated solely by hand, using black slip, glaze and gold lustre. Each piece is the result of many hours work and numerous firings. The inspiration for this work is derived from the study of natural rock forms and architecture, which I am developing within the basic form of a geometric vessel where the juxtaposition of line, shape and form are explored.
