I qualified several years ago at the University of Central Lancashire with a BA Honours degree in Tableware. I have recently completed my MA at the same university in Ceramics. I am an active member of Northern Potters and the Art and Craft Guild of Lancashire. Currently my work comprises of functional vessels in both stoneware and earthenware. The work I produce is hand made contemporary stoneware and earthenware intended for everyday use. Focus is placed on function, form, and surface pattern. The inspiration for my glazes expresses the movement in the seasons, along with hot and sunny summer holidays. I aspire to incorporate traditional skills with practical design. Variation in the design is encouraged, with the result that each piece is completely individual. Valuing the individuality of each piece of work and the practicality, use and utility, each piece will work as an independent piece or part of a set. The form, function and aesthetic significance of the work places it in the context of today – progressive and challenging. Designed to give pleasure in daily use.
