Biography
Stoneware hand built ceramics. Sculptural garden pieces and smaller sculptural and functional pieces for indoors. After studying art and ceramics at O level in the late 70’s I moved way from art until early 2000. My training has been mainly through adult Ed in SE London and my own exploration and research. My work reflects my interest in natural forms, shapes and textures, the landscapes we live in both urban and countryside influence my work. The visual and tactile nature of my work is essential to me speaking of pebbles on a beach, rocks on a river bed, ancient stones, old places. Hand built forms using slabs, coiling and my own home made moulds. My pieces are often slowly built over a number of weeks. I enjoy colouring my own clay or mixing clays together to change the basic colour of the clay. I use layers of different slips to create texture and colour variety to many of my pieces as well as various home made mark making tools to create different textures. With the need to use less electricity I am currently exploring how much texturing and layers I can do before any firing. This is ongoing experimentation.
