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 tableware on a traditional kick wheel and decorated with specially prepared coloured glazes.

This work reflects my interest in historical ceramics and influences include Beaker pottery, Moravian and Bohemian antiquities, Romano-British and Medieval ceramics and Staffordshire slipware.

I make bowls, serving dishes, tall jugs, coffee cups and mugs, tea bowls, tapas dishes, olive bowls and platters."
