About

My journey began at Jane James Ceramics in Jersey, Channel Islands, where I honed my skills in slip pouring earthenware, brush-on glazing, and kiln loading.

Eager to expand my expertise, I enrolled in classes at my local adult education center and eventually invested in my own pottery wheel and kiln. My pursuit of knowledge took me on an exciting path, including an intensive wheel throwing course in Vienna with Eric Landon. Eric later provided me with additional training in Copenhagen and an apprenticeship at his renowned Tortus studio in London. Under his mentorship, I refined my throwing techniques, learned the art of teaching, and connected with a vibrant global community of ceramic enthusiasts.

I attended a transformative course at La Meridiana under the guidance of Luigi Pullini, where I explored wild clay, glazes, and wood firing—a process that deepened my respect for the medium and connected me to the traditions of ancient pottery. I also experimented with alternative firing techniques like raku, barrel, and saggar firing in Devon, UK.

My journey continued with a three-month intensive course at the Corrie Bain Ceramics School in Barcelona, where I acquired a diverse range of skills including surface decoration, teapot making, and hand building, with a particular interest in Asian techniques such as Korean Buncheong, Neriage, and Nerikomi.

Currently, I am continuing to develop my personal style whilst creating personal work and commissions, in my studio alongside teaching beginner, intermediate, and studio-level classes at Highlands College.
