I have been drawn to the process of throwing since I first started ceramics in the 1990s. All of my work is fired to stoneware (1260 – 1300C) as I particularly like the properties and interactions of glazes, coatings and textures at these temperatures.
At present I am experimenting with different effects inspired by geological and marine sources using surface techniques, colouring materials, such as oxides, and the inclusion of grits and gravel in the clay body.
