After studying ceramics at university, I relocated to to the South Coast and now make all of my work from my studio at Hotwalls in Old Portsmouth.

I make my pots by pinching and coiling, an ancient, slow and thoughtful process which allows me to achieve the wobbly surface where my fingerprints have pinched the clay over and over to build the form.

Using handmade ceramics is a mindful experience – the care that went into the finished piece and the journey of the raw material is visible in each pot.
