About

I make handmade, simple, functional pieces. I’m interested in the subtle depths and complexity that clay and glaze can achieve.

In a world of immediacy, the repetitive slowness in the throwing and turning of clay into functional pieces is really grounding and peaceful, it’s my happy place, and it’s lovely to know they are enjoyed and used by others.

The process

I use a high fire stoneware clay which is rich in iron, the pieces are thrown on the potters wheel, trimmed and then bisque fired to 1000ºc.

For some pieces, I brush on a thin layer of white slip, a process called Hakame, the wares are dipped in Chun glazes and all pieces are fired again between 1260ºc and 1270ºc in a small setup at the bottom of my garden. It’s a slow process with each piece having a making time of 2-3 weeks due to throwing, drying and glazing times.

Shop updates

As I work in small batches, I aim to update the shop between 4 and 6 times a year. If you’d like to be notified on future collections and shop updates please join my mailing list, which you can find at the bottom of this page.
