Meet the Team

I had always found messing about with clay fun! After having my third child, I decided to set up a small studio & set about learning the craft.  I was fortunate to learn from some brilliant potters.  Deborah Baynes inspired my love of throwing clay, combining form with functionality and this was solidified by two summers spent at the Frith's (the amazing David & Margaret) learning not just how to pot, but about the history of studio pottery, taking inspiration from Japanese makers and Margaret's amazing carving of porcelain.  You couldn't hope for more wonderful teachers! Decorating pots with my own glazes was my next adventure & Jim Robison was the potter who inspired my love of texture.  I continued this adventure for 4 years until a house move (loss of studio) and full-time teaching intervened.

...a few years on & I finally got back on the wheel in my new garden studio.  Always keen to continue developing my pottery skills, I attended various courses, built my skills further & met lots of fellow potters along the way - they really are a kind bunch of people! [If you're looking to up-skill, Richard Phethean is wonderful teacher and mentor!] Last year was spent with a production pottery apprenticeship with a potter in the U.S. and a month-long masterclass with the lovely Brian Dickenson.

Please do follow me on Instagram to see what I'm working on in the pottery and perhaps come and join me - I'd love to help you on your pottery adventure - join me for a pottery session!
