Description: Ceramics


My ceramics are created using extrusions, coils and slabs. Living on the edge of a Pennine village, I am influenced in my forms and glazes by the soft curves of the moors and their ever changing moods and colours, contrasting with the industrial landscape.

I am intrigued by the geometric forms produced by an extruder and by the organic movement of the clay from the die. I like to include where possible the curved movement of the form, in the manipulation of the clay structure.

I use grogged clays and fire the pots to stoneware temperatures in a gas or electric kiln. My pots are all functional.
