I studied ceramics at Harrow College from 1989 - 1991 and went on to set up a studio near Newbury before settling in West Wales. I exhibit work  in galleries across Britain and have contributed work to several international collections. I make salt-glazed woodfired ceramics. These pieces are contemporary, functional, wheel-based forms, things to be used and enjoyed. I combine traditional and modern ways of working, firing in a 75 cubic foot catenary arched kiln with wood to 1300^o centigrade. These firings produce many original surfaces and colours. I aim to create functional works which are individual and original in design and execution.
