Inspired by balance, and by change
I came to ceramics through a need for change—a desire to find a contemplative practice that would still my mind but busy my hands. That would produce something lasting; something of beauty.
With a background in horticulture, food and Traditional Chinese Medicine, I am a practical creature. I think that is part of the appeal of clay—it feels very real. Almost a life-force. And it is more than an aesthetic pursuit. It is the making of things we need; that will last.
Like much of life, ceramics is an art that can be as frustrating as it is rewarding, but along the way I have learned to accept that sometimes the kiln gives you what you need; not what you expected.
In 2015 I went to Stoke On Trent to work alongside Master ceramic designer, Ed Bentley. What I learnt there, and in France two years later with Sasha Wardell, has informed the way I work since. My practice now centres on porcelain and semi-porcelain clays, slip-cast then glazed using a multi-layered technique. In this way I am able to capture at least some of the nuanced colour and texture I love in nature.
