Artist's Statement

"I live and work in Dumfries & Galloway, South West Scotland where I produce hand-thrown ceramics.

I am also a lecturer in ceramics and sculpture at Dumfries & Galloway College.

I produce and range of historically inspired thrown forms.

Hand-thrown on a traditional kick wheel and decorated with specially prepared coloured glazes, this work reflects my interest in historical ceramics.

Influences include Beaker pottery, Moravian and Bohemian antiquities, Romano-British and Medieval ceramics and Staffordshire slipware.

Forms include bowls, dishes, jugs, urns, tea bowls and platters."
