I have worked in all areas of ceramics from designing my own range of children’s tableware to producing the one-off pieces I make now. I was trained at the Central School of Art where I gained a BA in Ceramics, (1979,) followed by an MA in Ceramics at the Royal College of Art in 1983.

I specialize in a type of ceramics known as Maiolica, which is a term for a technique which involves painting on to un-fired glaze, with the colours fusing into the glaze in the subsequent firing. It has been called various names depending on where it was made, such as Faience in France Hispano-Moresque in Spain and Delft in Holland.

All my vases are hand painted so no two are exactly alike. I have been featured in numerous publications and books such as “Maiolica” by Daphne Carnegy published by Batsford and “Pottery Making Illustrated” (USA.)My own techniques which I have developed over a 30+year career are explained and illustrated in my book “Modern Maiolica” (2025) ISBN 978-1-0369-2383-9

I have exhibited widely in such shows as Ceramic Art London, Slimbridge Wetlands Centre, Leach pottery in St Ives and the touring exhibition “The Pot Vessel & the Object, 50 years of the CPA” (Craft Potters Association.)

I am a Fellow of the CPA www.contemporaryceramics.com where I regularly exhibit in their gallery at 63 Gt Russel Street London WC1.

I am a member of the Rye Society of Artists www.ryesocietyofartits.co.uk where I exhibit in their bi-annual exhibitions in Rye, East Sussex.

And lastly, I am a member of the Sussex Guild www.thesussexguild.co.uk where I have stock in the shop in Lewes, Southover Street, Lewes East Sussex BN7 1TP.
