The pottery I produce is made in stoneware clay and influenced
by folk traditions. My aim is to make functional pots that are lively and
show the natural beauty of clay and fire.
I am drawn to wood, salt/soda firing because of the rich effects these firings techniques have on my clay, slips and the glazes I use. The element of chance is very much a part of these atmospheric firing techniques and brings to play a deep connection between tending the fire and the work within. I am hoping that these elements in combination produce ware that has a warm essence and gives pleasure in use.
