About

I discovered clay in the early 90s and studied ceramics at Glasgow School of Art. A move to the Highlands in 2010 has greatly influenced my creative practice. 

My work is constantly evolving and one piece or collection usually informs the next. Experimenting with printing processes, glaze testing and drawing exercises keeps me interested and feeds in to new work.

I work in small batches at a time alongside one off pieces. I use dark earthenware clays and mostly throw, often altering the form at the leather hard stage and adding hand modelled details. I fire the clay high until it almost melts and apply thick overlapping glazes. My illustrations are reproduced as decals and fired on top of the glazes. I enjoy the relationship between the earthy clay, rustic glazes and the controlled detailed illustrations which are a constant in my work.
